Summary:The subject of the study was the examine of effectiveness of three different Azotobacter species (Azotobacter chroococcum, Azotobacter agilis and Azotobacter vinelandi, three strains each) in two sugar beet varieties. Sugar beets were grown in Mitscherlich's pots filled with calcerous chernozem for the entire duration of their growth and development. The effectiveness depended on the Azotobacter species as well as the sugar beet genotype. Azotobacter chroococcum proved to be the most effective species in both of the varieties. All of the Azotobacter species, for their part, were the most effective in the case of the variety NS-HY 11. They also increased microbial activity in the soil on which the sugar beets were grown.
