Abstracts |
Production of healthy and quality planting stock are highly important to meet the plantation target by the state forest departments, wood based industries and tree growers. In the present study, an experiment was conducted to test the efficacy of
different bio-inoculants viz., Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal (AM) fungi
individually and in combinations on growth enhancement of economically important fast growing indigenous tree species, Gmelina arborea in nursery. It is evident from the data that all the bio-inoculants have greatly improved seedling growth and biomass of G. arborea in nursery on par with DAP application. Dual application of bio-inoculants was found to be better than
single inoculations indicating the synergistic effect. Further, dual combinations involving a N fixer and a Psolubilizer/ mobilizer were found to be highly effective. |
