The soil used was of an EC equal to 7.6 dS m-1. A greenhouse factorial experiment on the basis of a completely randomized block design with three levels of arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculants ¬(non inoculation¬, inoculation with¬ Glomus etunicatum and G. intradices), four levels of Pseudomonas fluorescens¬ inoculants (non inoculation , inoculation with P. fluorescens strains 4¬,9,12) on two cultivars of sunflower (Euroflor¬ and ¬Master) with four replications per treatment was conducted. Results indicated that treatments significantly (P UR - https://ijswr.ut.ac.ir/article_21871.html L1 - https://ijswr.ut.ac.ir/article_21871_cca3e8a6cb12c55ee7ac2f50a5de51df.pdf ER -
