Abstracts |
The demand for large scale development of plantations of economically important indigenous as well as fast growing exotic tree species through
ToF (Trees Outside Forests) programme has been progressively increasing in the recent past in Tamil Nadu and other parts of the country. Successful establishment of plantations is based on the survivability of the planted healthy and quality saplings in the field. Hence, an efficient
production of quality seedlings of economically important tree species is of paramount importance. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the effect of commercially available beneficial microbes as bio-inoculants on growth enhancement of economically important fast growing native tree species, in nursery. It was observed that dual application of bio-inoculants was found better than single inoculation indicating the synergistic effect. Further, dual combination involving both nitrogen fixers and phosphorus solubilizer/ mobilizer were found highly effective. |
