A field experiment was conducted on vertisol during the year 2005-06 at Mahatma Phule Agriculture University, Rahuri, to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and biochemical properties of sugarcane (Cv.Co. 86032). The use of biofertilizers (PSB, Azotobacter, Acetobacter and Azospirillum) either individually or in combinations alongwith FYM (25 t ha-1) and RDF (500:170:127 N, P2O5 and K2O kg ha-1, respectively). These treatments of integration of nutrient supply were found to be superior in improving the growth of sugarcane and also superior in enhancing the total leaf chlorophyll content, NR activity of sugarcane leaves and nutrient uptake as compared to organic or chemical treatment only. The results indicated that the integrated use of chemical fertilizers along with FYM and biofertilizers (Azotobacter, Acetobacter and Azospirilum) enhanced the plant growth, total chlorophyll content and NR activity of sugarcane.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted on vertisol during the year 2005-06 at Mahatma Phule Agriculture University, Rahuri, to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and biochemical properties of sugarcane (Cv.Co. 86032). The use of biofertilizers (PSB, Azotobacter, Acetobacter and Azospirillum) either individually or in combinations alongwith FYM (25 t ha-1) and RDF (500:170:127 N, P2O5 and K2O kg ha-1, respectively). These treatments of integration of nutrient supply were found to be superior in improving the growth of sugarcane and also superior in enhancing the total leaf chlorophyll content, NR activity of sugarcane leaves and nutrient uptake as compared to organic or chemical treatment only. The results indicated that the integrated use of chemical fertilizers along with FYM and biofertilizers (Azotobacter, Acetobacter and Azospirilum) enhanced the plant growth, total chlorophyll content and NR activity of sugarcane.
