Abstracts |
Tobacco (Nicotiana tobacum L.) seedbeds were raised at CTRI nursery site during 2007-08, to study the effect of nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Azotobacter chroococcum), phosphorus-solubilizing AM fungi (Glomus intraradicus) and growth-promoting bacteria, Pseudomonas fluorescens on growth and nutrient content of seedlings in tobacco nursery. The combined inoculation of Azotobacter, VAM and P. fluorescens resulted in an increase of plant biomass, dry matter, weight of seedlings, number of healthy transplantable seedlings, leaf area and chlorophyll content. The treatments with dual and triple inoculation had maximum content of NPK compared to that of single inoculation. A significant increase in the micronutrients content was observed with triple and dual inoculation as compared to uninoculated control and single inoculation. |
