Abstracts |
Field experiments were conducted during rabi 2002-03 and 2003-04 in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India to evaluate the effect of Azospirillum, Azotobacter, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) inoculation on the yield of cauliflower. The biofertilizers were applied together with 75% dose of N or 100% of the recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), i.e. NPK at 15:60:60 kg/ha. Maximum curd yield was obtained with the application of Azospirillum + 100% RDF (213.25 and 219.95 q/ha), followed by Azospirillum + 75% dose of N, during both years. |
