Response of Phosphobacterial and Mycorrhizal Inoculation in Wheat

摘要

A pot study was conducted to assess the significance of phosphobacterial and mycorrhizal inoculation in wheat. The results showed that phosphobacterial counts before sowing and after harvesting of wheat were significantly improved as compared to their respective control treatments. Highest phosphobacterial estimates of 86.25 x 10⁸ g ^-1 soil recorded in P fertilizer treatment were statistically identical to 80.25 x 10⁸ g ^-1 soil obtained with phosphobacterial inoculation. Moreover, yield and yield attributes in wheat were also affected significantly by phosphobacterial inoculation. The grain yield of 15.20 g/pot recorded with 100 kg ha ^-1 of applied P was statistically similar to 13.97 g /pot obtained from phosphobacterial treatment.
