Abstract
Jatropha curcas L. is a biofuel plant which substitutes the fossil fuels. A study was conducted to investigate the effects of Jatropha seeds inoculated with Vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi, Azospirillum, Azotobacter and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) at various combinations. The biofertilizer treated seeds were tested under field conditions and seedlings were uprooted at 30, 60 and 90 days. Combined microbial inoculations resulted in the significant increase of root and shoot length, shoot and root tolerance index, fresh and dry weight of shoot, root and leaves and leaf area of all treated plants compared to control. After 120 days, chlorophyll contents, total soluble sugars, free amino acids and total protein were analyzed and the results indicated that the plants inoculated with Azospirillum + Azotobacter + PSB +VAM fungi showed the significant increase. Morphological and biochemical contents of Jatropha plants were significantly increased by the effect of combined biofertilizers compared to either individual biofertilizer or control. Biofertilizers accelerated the assimilation of nutrients to the plants.
