Abstract
Wheat (Triticum durum L. cv. Creso) plants were grown in a soil with organic matter and available nitrogen and phosphorous. Plants were inoculated individually either with Azospirillum brasilense strain Cdr (rifampicin resistant), and with an arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus sp. strain A6 or with dual inoculation with both microorganisms. After 12 weeks plants were harvested and data recorded. Fresh and dry weigth of shoots and roots were higher in dual inoculated plants compared with individual inoculated and control.
