An experiment was carried out during Rabi 2006-07 and 2007-08 at Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour to find out the effect of inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers on dry matter yield per plant and NPK-uptake by plant from soil. Five levels of inorganic fertilizers (F1-N80 P40K40, F2 - N120 P60K60, F3- N160 P80 K80 F4 - N200 P100 K100 and F5 - N240 P120K120) and five treatments of bio fertilizers (M1-O, M2- Azotobacter, M3 - Azospirillum, M4 - VAM and M5 - PSB) were taken. The data of two years were pooled and analysed. The results of the investigation revealed that maximum dry matter production per plant and NPK- uptake by plant from soil was obtained at fertility level of N200 P100 K100. The interaction effect of inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers were also found highly significant. The plant grown at fertility level of N200 P100 K100 along with application of Azospirillum as seed and seedlings treatment as well as soil application gave the highest dry matter yield per plant as well as NPK - uptake by plant from the soil.

Abstract


An experiment was carried out during Rabi 2006-07 and 2007-08 at Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour to find out the effect of inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers on dry matter yield per plant and NPK-uptake by plant from soil. Five levels of inorganic fertilizers (F1-N80 P40K40, F2 - N120 P60K60, F3- N160 P80 K80 F4 - N200 P100 K100 and F5 - N240 P120K120) and five treatments of bio fertilizers (M1-O, M2- Azotobacter, M3 - Azospirillum, M4 - VAM and M5 - PSB) were taken. The data of two years were pooled and analysed. The results of the investigation revealed that maximum dry matter production per plant and NPK- uptake by plant from soil was obtained at fertility level of N200 P100 K100. The interaction effect of inorganic fertilizers and bio fertilizers were also found highly significant. The plant grown at fertility level of N200 P100 K100 along with application of Azospirillum as seed and seedlings treatment as well as soil application gave the highest dry matter yield per plant as well as NPK - uptake by plant from the soil.
