Effects on the yield and fiber quality components of Bt cotton inoculated with Azotobacter chroococcum under elevated CO₂.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The raising trend of cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-transgenic cotton is faced with a new challenge what effects on the growth and yield of Bt cotton under elevated CO₂.

Methods

Rhizobacteria is the significant biological regulator to increase environmental suitability and ameliorate soil-nitrogen utilization efficiency of crops, especially Bt cotton. Pot-culture experiments investigated the effects on the yield and fiber quality components of Bt cotton (transgenic Line SCRC 37) inoculated with Azotobacter chroococcum (AC) under elevated CO₂.

Results

The findings indicated that the inoculation of azotobacter significantly improved the yield and fiber quality components of Bt
