Abstracts |
A study was conducted during the summer of 2004 in Uttar Pradesh, India, to examine the effects of biofertilizers and phosphorus levels on green gram cv. Pusa Vishal. Treatments comprised: four biofertilizer treatments (control; Rhizobium inoculation; phosphorus-solubilizing bacteria inoculation; and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) inoculation) and four phosphorus rates (0, 30, 60 and 90 kg/ha). Among biofertilizers, VAM inoculation recorded the highest seed yield. Seed yield was lowest in the control. All the phosphorus rates increased the seed yield significantly over the control. The highest seed yield was observed with 90 kg P/ha, which was at par with 60 kg P/ha, and both were significantly superior to 30 kg P/ha. Likewise, 60 kg P/ha significantly improved the yield attributes except test weight compared to the control. All the biofertilizers showed stover yield significantly higher than that of the control based on plant height and dry matter accumulation. For the phosphorus rates, the stover yield followed the trend observed in seed yield. Stover yield was highest in 90 kg P/ha, followed by 60 kg P/ha. Harvest index was not significantly affected by biofertilizers. However, all phosphorus rates recorded significantly higher harvest index compared to the control. |
