One hundred strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii were isolated from roots of wheat cultivated in rotation with clover in two different regions of Morocco. The isolates were first screened for their effect on the growth of the cultivar Rihane of wheat cultivated in an agricultural soil under greenhouse conditions. After 5 weeks of growth, 14 strains stimulating the fresh or dry matter yield of shoots were selected and used in a second pot inoculation trial performed with two different agricultural soils. The results show that the strains behaved differently according to the soil used. In the loamy sand Rabat, strain IAT 168 behaved potentially like a plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), as indicated by the 24% increases (P < 0.1) observed in wheat shoot dry matter and grain yields. In the silty clay Merchouch, no PGPR activity was observed, and 6 strains showed a significant deleterious effect on yields. These observations suggest that it is very important in a crop rotation system to choose a R. leguminosarum bv. trifolii strain that is effective with clover and shows PGPR activity with wheat to avoid deleterious effects on wheat yields.Key words: deleterious bacteria, PGPR (plant growth promoting rhizobacteria), Trifolium alexandrinum, Triticum aestivum.

Mikroba Bacillus subtilis merupakan agen pengendali hayati mempunyai kelebihan sebagai Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) yaitu dapat berfungsi sebagai biofertilizer, biostimulan, biodekomposer dan bioprotektan. Tujuan penelitian mengetahui potensi B. subtilis dalam merombak bahan organik sebagai usaha meningkatkan ketersediaan bahan organik tanah yang semakin menurun. Penelitian menggunakan Rancangan Petak Terbagi dengan berbagai  bahan organik sebagai petak utama (B0 = tanpa bahan organik, B1 = kotoran ayam,  B2 = kotoran kambing, B3 = kotoran sapi) dan aplikasi B.subtilis sebagai anak petak (A0 = 0 cc/L, A1 = 5cc/L, A2 = 10 cc/L, Pengamatan meliputi variabel tinggi tanaman, indeks luas daun, jumlah buah per tanaman, berat buah per tanaman, dan bahan organik tanah. Data pengamatan  dianalisis ragam  menggunakan  Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) versi 25 dan dilanjutkan dengan uji Duncan untuk mengetahui signifikansi perbedaan antar perlakuan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak terdapat interaksi antara bahan organik kotoran ternak dan konsentrasi B. subtilis terhadap semua variabel pengamatan. Potensi B. subtilis sangat baik dalam mendekomposisi bahan organik yang ditunjukkan dengan peningkatan bahan organik, dan hasil terbaik pada kotoran  sapi (B3) dan konsentrasi B. subtilis 15 mL/L masing-masing sebesar 46.47 % dan 34.76 %. Variabel pertumbuhan tidak berbeda nyata kecuali tinggi tanaman dengan pertambahan tinggi paling banyak pada pemberian kotoran kambing sebesar 170.69 %.

Biofertilizers are fertilizers containing microorganisms that promote plant growth by improving the supply of nutrients to the host plant. The supply of nutrients is improved naturally by nitrogen fixation and solubilizing phosphorus. The living microorganisms in biofertilizers help in building organic matter in the soil and restoring the natural nutrient cycle. Biofertilizers can be grouped into Nitrogen-fixing biofertilizers, Phosphorous-solubilizing biofertilizers, Phosphorous-mobilizing biofertilizers, Biofertilizers for micro nutrients and Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. This study conducted in Kottayam district was intended to identify the awareness and acceptance of biofertilizers among the farmers of the area. Data have been collected from 120 farmers by direct interviews with structured questionnaire.
