Abstract
The objective of this study was to assess the effects of few arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the growth and yield indices of two wheat varieties in a saline soil (EC=10/1 dSm-1). A factorial experiment with completely randomized design with four replications was conducted to investigate the effects of three levels of fungal inoculation (non inoculation , inoculation with Glomus etunicatum and with Glomus intradices) and four levels of bacterial inoculation (non inoculation, inoculation with P. fluorescens strains 4 , 9, 12) on two wheat varieties (Sistan and Chamran) as tolerant and semi-tolerant to salinity, respectively. Our results showed that the growth and yield indices of two varieties were significantly (P
