Abstracts |
A study was conducted at Coffee Research Sub-Station, Chettalli, Karnataka, India, for two seasons to assess the efficacy of different sources of biofertilizers and native plant growth promoting rhizobacter (N-PGPR) on growth, vigour and development of coffee seedlings and nutrient availability. Results revealed that the combined inoculation of Azospirillum+vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM)+phosphate solubilizer (PSP)+N-PGPR increased the plant height, taproot length, stem girth and dry matter weight of seedlings significantly at all the stages of growth compared to the uninoculated control. Results also revealed that when VAM, PSP, N-PGPR were inoculated with Azospirillum there was significant increase in plant height, taproot length and dry weight of seedlings at all the stages of crop growth when compared to individual inoculations and uninoculated control. All the biofertilizers were found superior individually or in consortia than control with respect to seedlings growth and availability of N, P and K in the nursery mixture after experimentation. |
