Studies on plant nutrient uptake, yield and plant biomass as influenced by partial substitution of chemical fertilizers by FYM and Bio fertilizer consortia in okra

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017 at University of horticultural sciences, bagalkot to study the plant nutrient uptake, yield and plant biomass as influenced by partial substitution of chemical fertilizers by FYM and Bio fertilizer consortia in okra. Among the different treatments maximum plant nutrient uptake, yield and biomass were observed in the treatments receiving 100% recommended dose of fertilizer along with bio fertilizers and 75% recommended dose of fertilizers with 25% recommended dose of nitrogen by FYM along with bio fertilizers. In conclusion, application of every inoculation treatment studied here, especially treatments which contained bio fertilizers may stimulate growth and yield of okra as compared with un inoculated plants.
