Abstracts |
Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2002 and 2003, in New Delhi, India, to evaluate the effect of different phosphatic fertilizers and biofertilizers on the growth attributes and chlorophyll content of maize. There were 12 treatments consisting of different phosphatic sources (single superphosphate (SSP) and rock phosphate (RP) with or without phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM)) with or without N fertilizer. Data were recorded for leaf area, dry matter, crop growth rate, leaf area index, leaf area ratio, chlorophyll content, grain and stover yields, and harvest index. N120SSP30VAM and N120RP30PSB gave the best results for these parameters.. |
