Effect of Bio-fertilizer and Organic fertilizer on physiological characteristics of Bread Wheat [triticum aestivum L].

In the present study the effect of Bioferilizer (Azotobacter sps.) and organic fertilizer I,e farmyard manure and Jinong an organic liquid fertilizer containing Humic Acid applied alone or in combination on physiological characters of wheat Triticum aestivum L. VarietyK-9107 (Deva)] was studied. The study performed during Nov. 2009 to April 2011 at Christ Church College, Kanpur, spread over investigation concerned with the effect of Biofertilizer and to compare it with organic fertilizers. The Biofertilizer [Azotobacter]and farmyard manure was applied as soil treatment. Jinong Based on preliminary experiments 0.2% Jinong and 0.3% Jinong were applied at soaking seed stage and three sprays at intervals of 14 days, the first spray being 20 DAS (days after sowing). (since 0.2% Jinong gave better result it was used for combined treatments with Biofertilizer / farmyard manure. Summarizing the entire investigation one can conclude that Biofertilizer (Azotobacter sps.) treatment applied alone was very effective in promoting physiological parameters. When Biofertilizer was added to FYM the effect was better .Treatment of Jinong (J), the liquid organic fertilizer containing humic acid applied alone was very effective compared to Biofertilizer alone, FYM alone or Bf + F. Application of 0.2% J was generally better than 0.3% J. Moreover, Jinong + Biofertilizer was more effective than Biofertilizer + FYM except chlorophyll a, Addition of FYM to 0.2% J proved to be the best among the test applications. Combined treatment of Bf + FYM + Jinong showed very less or negative effect.
