Abstract
Rhizospheric bacteria help plants overcome the stress of drought and waterlogging of the soil, and they are used in crop production to increase crop yields. However, it has not been sufficiently studied whether a single bacterial strain can be equally effective in drought and waterlogging of the soil. The reaction of wheat ( L.) to treatment with 6 strains of bacteria during waterlogging was evaluated in laboratory and field experiments (“Baymakskoye” Agricultural Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and the data were compared with previously published results of a similar experiment in arid conditions. Excessive watering reduced the height, weight of plants, and the total amount of chlorophylls, and the use of bacteria fully or partially normalized these indicators. The most successful treatment was with strain 5(3), which was previously inferior to DA1.2 and IB-6 strains against the background of drought. In the extremely rainy field season of 2024, plant weight in the tillering phase and wheat yield increased both in plots with strain 5(3) (up to 24.6 and 20.7%) and strain DA1.2 (up to 50.7 and 20.0%) due to an increase in the number of productive stems and grain weight in each ear. Thus, during waterlogging and drought, different types of bacteria provided an advantage, but the dynamism of weather conditions in the field could smooth out the differences observed in controlled laboratory conditions.
