Abstracts |
A field experiment conducted in Maharashtra, India, during 2001-02 with onion (Allium cepa) indicated that inoculation with vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (Glomus mosseae) and or Azospirillum lipoferum along with graded levels of fertilizer nitrogen viz., 25, 50, 75 and 100 kg N/ha (recommended dose) augmented the growth parameters viz., plant height, number of leaves, diameter of bulbs, dry weight of shoot and bulbs and bulb yield over their counter part uninoculated control treatment. In general, all the bioinoculants exhibited excel performance compared to the uninoculated control treatment. The yield obtained due to application of 75 kg N/ha conjugated with VAM + Azospirillum inoculation (31.18 MT/ha) was on par with application of 100 kg N/ha conjugated with VAM + Azospirillum (31.40 MT/ha). These findings explicitly indicated the possibility of saving fertilizer nitrogen to an extent of 25 kg N/ha in onion. |
