| Abstract Background & Objectives: One of the crops of the Brassicaceae family, which is regarded as one of the most significant oil plants in the world because of its oil content and ideal fatty acid composition, is canola. Nitrogen is one of the most crucial components that play a role in the synthesis of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, secondary metabolites and ATP. Chemical fertilizers used carelessly cause a number of environmental problems, such as groundwater contamination, insect and microbe extinction, and decreased soil fertility. Using biological fertilizers is a crucial step in minimizing the use of chemical fertilizers and preventing the adverse impact caused with their application. Due to its wide range of adaptability to most of the country's climatic conditions, canola, one of the most significant oilseed plants in development, has enormous value in reducing dependence on the import of edible oil. Nevertheless, using biological fertilizers will also significantly reduce the negative environmental effects caused by the excessive use of synthetic inputs, particularly commercial fertilizers, in addition to reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. Due to these reasons, the current study was conducted to determine the best combination for nitrogen with biofertilizers in regards to yield, yield components, and percentage of canola oil. Materials and methods: The experiment was conducted as a factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications in a farm located in Marand city of East Azarbaijan province in 2019. Experimental treatments include chemical fertilizer at three levels (no application of fertilizer as a control and application of 125 and 250 kg ha-1 of urea) and bifertilizers at four levels (without biofertilizers as a control, application of Azoto barvar-1, Phosphate barvar-2 and the combined of Azotobarvar-1 + Phosphate barvar-2). Results: Application of different levels of urea fertilizer increased plant height, leaf area, and number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, harvest index, chlorophyll index, plant dry weight, oil percentage, and green cover percentage of canola. However, it had non-significant effect on oil yield. On the other hand, the application of bifertilizers improved plant dry weight, oil percentage and oil yield, but did not have a significant effect on the other studied traits. The interaction effect between chemical fertilizer and biofertilizer had significant effect on the number of seeds and yield of the plant. The highest number of seeds per plant and grain yield was obtained at the combination of biofertilizers with the application of 250 kg ha-1 of urea. Combined use of Azotobarvar-1 + Phosphate barvar-2 biofertilizers with the consumption of 125 and 250 kg ha-1 of urea improved the yield by 42.9% and 81.4%, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, the combined application of Azotobarvar-1 + Phosphate barvar-2 biofertilizers along with nitrogen fertilizer due to the improvement of yield, yield components and oil content can be recommended for profitable of canola production in fields. | ||
