BIOCHEMICAL STUDIES ON FABA BEAN

Abstract

Bioorganic farming is modern approach in agricultural pa1tic that aims using mic•i•organims as biofertilizers. to conserve natural resources and act as protection against increasing pollution due to the extensive use of mineral fertilizer . The presnt work was designed to investing ate the effectiveness of biofertilizer okadine and I or phosphorine with and without the application at mineral fertilization (nitrogen and phosphorous). . Growth parameters increased by inoculation with okadine and phosphorine along with mineral fe1tilization includes plant bight, number of leaves, number of nodules, plant dry weight, the highest nitiogen concentration and uptake and highest phosphorous concentrations and uptake. The highest protein concentration.

During pode, formation stage there was a reverse relation between protein and carbohydrate. Total carbohydrate was deceased by seed inac tlation compared with uninoculated seeds. Total chlorophyll concentration wase increased.

0 Poly phenol and total phenol were not affected by mineral or biofertilizer treatments.
