Abstract

Organic fertilizers such as biofertilizer and compost play a significant role in the environment and food safety. Some microbial enriched compost i.e. compost+Trichodermavirdie, compost+Rhizobium tropici and compost+T. virdie+R. tropici are used to enhance the growth of green been (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) c. v. Poulista. The treatment of compost+ R. tropici +T. virdigave the best increasing in both of plant height, number of branches, fresh weight, dry weight, nodule leghaemoglobin level, nitrogen and protein in pods of green been plants. While, the treatment of compost+R. tropici gave the best increasing in leaves number and nodules number on green been roots at 50% N-fertilizer level.
