Studies on effect of soil nutrient enriching microbes on the growth of tomato

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at farm of College of Agricultural Biotechnology, Sangulwadi during rabbi season of 2017-2018 with view to study the Plant height-1, leaves plants-1, branches plant-1, days to flowering, yield plant-1 as influenced by tomato. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design planted in five replications. The results revealed that, the treatment T2 (Soil + biofertilizer) recorded maximum number of height plant-1 (88.00cm), leaves plant-1 (76.12), branches plant-1 (13.40), days required for flowering (31.00 days) and yield of fruits plant-1 (7.81 kg). Whereas, in the treatment T2 (Soil + biofertilizer) the nutrient composition of soil was increased in N, P, K content after biofertilizer treatment than the control treatment i.e. soil.
