Abstract
In order to study the effects of some biological fertilizers on growth parameters of three barley
cultivars, a factorial experiments with three replications were performed in pots (using natural field
soil, pH=8) as completely randomized design at the Research Greenhouse of Fars Science and
Research Branch of Islamic Azad University. Three barley cultivars namely; Yousef, Nosrat and
Reihan, and six different biological fertilizers: Phosphotidic Barvar 2, Barvar 3, Nitrokara, Nitroxin,
Biophosphorus, EM and control (non-inoculated seeds) were used. The investigated traits, including
morphological characters: percentage of emergence, shoot length, volume of seminal roots, and wet
and dry weight. Results showed that the application of biological fertilizers had significant effects on
all traits except for shoot length. The highest averages for these traits were obtained from Nosrat
cultivar and the most effective biological fertilizers with respect to these traits were Barvar 2. It seems
that, in practice, biological fertilizers have the required potential to replace the chemical (synthetic)
fertilizers.
