EFFECT OF BIOFERTILISERS, MACRONUTRIENTS AND MICRONUTRIENTS ON ABELMOSCHUS ESCULENTUS (L.)

Abstract

A field experiment conducted to findout the effect of biofertilisers, micronutrients and macronutrients. Study reveals an increase yield upto 10921.0 kg/ha (10.921t/ha) at 30N: 30P: 30K kg/ha with the combination of dual inoculums of biofertiliser viz, Pseudomonas striata and Azotobacter chroococcum which was significantaly superior than control. In control, the yield was 4521.4 kg/ha (4.52t/ha), where as in with chemical fertilisers i.e. NPK with macro and micronutrients,the yield were 9057.62kg/ha (9.05t/ha) and with 30S:50Ca:20Mg: 5.0Zn: 15.0Fe: 20 Mn: 1.25Cu:2.0Bkg/ha and the yield were 12778.06kg/ha (12.778t/ha). It is evident that the intigration of macro and micronutrients with the application of two strains of biofertilisers viz, Pseudomonas striata and Azotobacter chroococcum results into higher yields i.e. 12778.06kg/ha (12.778t/ha) in Ablemoschus esculentus (L.).
