    The composition of the microbial community in rhizosphere can affect plant growth, nutrients uptake, and stress tolerance. In rhizosphere bacteria belonging to the genus Azotobacter there are free nitrogen-fixers promoting growth and health of plants. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of different native isolates (SA74, SB94, MA7 and their combination) Azotobacter spp. on initial growth of plants tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Scherb) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds). The experiment was carried out in semi-controlled conditions. For this study, seeds of tall fescue cultivar Kruševački 20 (K-20) and meadow fescue cultivar Kruševački 21 (K-21) were planted in pots filled with alluvial soil with slightly acidic reaction. The height, green mass per plant, root length and root weight per plant were determined. Four variants of microbial inoculation were compared with the growth of non-inoculated control. The significance of difference between examined treatments was determined by Fisher’s LSD test (p<0.05). At tall fescue, applied isolate SB94 in all investigated parameters had a negative effect. The two other isolates as well as combination of three isolates had a positive effect on initial growth of plants. Only in plant height, the application of a combination of isolates did not have positive result compared to the control. At meadow fescue, inoculation with combined isolates positively influenced plant height andgreen mass per plant. Root length was significantly increased only in treatment with isolate MA7. The influence of inoculation on root weight per plant was not noted.

    Primena korisnih mikroorganizama, kao što su bakterije iz roda Azotobacter, predstavlja ekološki prihvatljiv metod za unapređenje proizvodnje krmnih trava i biogenosti zemljišta. U radu su prikazani rezultati primene predsetvene mikrobijalne inokulacije. Ispitivan je uticaj četiri izolata Azotobacter spp. (ZA1, SA74, SB94, MA7) i njihove kombinacije na početni rast višegodišnjih trava: engleskog ljulja (Lolium perenne L.), francuskog ljulja (Arrhenatherum elatius L.), italijanskog ljulja (Lolium multiflorum L.) i ježevice (Dactylis glomerata L.). Eksperiment je izveden u polukontrolisanim uslovima. Visina, zelena masa po biljci, dužina i masa korena po biljci određene su četiri nedelje nakon setve. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da je primena mikrobne inokulacije imala pozitivan efekat na početni rast i razvoj ispitivanih vrsta trava.
