Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 38
Abstract
The experiment was conducted at farmer’s field of Panagar, District Jabalpur (M.P.). During rabi season 2008-09 and 2009-10. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with eleven treatments including control and replicated three times and results were showed in pooled basis. The maximum number [1] of flowers per cluster, number of fruits per cluster and percentage of fruit set was highest in T7 (Mixture of all). T10 (Azotobacter + Azospirillum @ 1 kg/ha each as seedling treatment) recorded highest number of flowers per cluster [3] and number of fruits per cluster [11]. While percentage of fruit set did not vary significantly due to bio-fertilizers. Maximum fruit diameter, fruit length, fruit weight and number of fruits per plant were observed for T7 (Mixture of all) amongst treatments of micronutrients. Maximum fruit diameter, fruit length, and fruit weight was highest in T10 (Azotobacter + Azospirillum @ 1 kg/ha each as seedling treatment) whereas number fruits per plant were higher in T8 (Azotobacter @ 1 kg/ha as seedling treatment) amongst treatments of bio-fertilizers. T7 (Mixture of all) recorded the highest yield per plant and yield q/ha followed by T6 (Manganese sulphate (Mn) @ 100 ppm as foliar spray) and T5 ( Ferrous sulphate (Fe) @ 100 ppm as foliar spray). Yield per plant and yield q/ha did not vary significantly due to bio-fertilizers.
