Effect of Biofertilizers on Nutrient Uptake and Yield Attributes of Banana

Field experiment was conducted at Banana Research Station, Jalgaon (M.S.) to find out the effect of biofertilizers on nutrient uptake and yield attributes of banana. Application of 100 % RDF + Azospirillum (50 g/plant) + PSB (50 g/plant) + VAM (250 g/plant) + T. harzianum (50 g/plant) recorded highest yield. However, application of either Azospirillum @ 50 g/plant or PSB @ 50 g/ plant at the time of planting with 10 kg FYM /plant and 100 % recommended dose of inorganic fertilizer found beneficial in terms of net profit. Higher N uptake was observed in the treatments where Azospirillum bioinoculant was used. P uptake was higher in the treatments where PSB and VAM were used.
