“…Increased the availability of NPK in soil due to seed treatment with NPK consortia and its active involvement in shoot and root growth lead to improvement in various yield attributes which later boosted final yields. The results of present investigation are in close conformity with findings of Obid et al (2016) and Dhiman and Dubey (2017).…”

A field experiments were conducted during kharif and rabi 2016–17 and 2017–18 at ZARS, Jhabua to study the effect of phosphorus and bioinoculants on growth attributes, yields, nutrient uptake and economics in maize - chickpea cropping system. Among the treatments, significantly higher growth and yield parameters of maize were recorded with the application of 60 kg P2O5/ha + NPK consortia as compared to other treatments. The highest grain yield (54.62 q/ha), stover yield (52.63 q/ha), biological yield (106.58 q/ha) were obtained under 60 kg P2O5/ha + NPK consortia which was at par to each other and significantly superior to control, PSB I, PSB II and NPK consortia. This treatment also observed the highest total N, P and K uptake by grain and stover. The residual study of phosphorus and bioinoculants on succeeding chickpea was found to have significant effect on growth and yield attributes. Among the various treatments, maximum seed yield (24.04 q/ha), and biological yield (60.69 q/ha) were observed under 60 kg P2O5/ha + NPK consortia. Similarly, the highest total uptake of N, P and K were recorded with the application of 60 kg P2O5/ha + NPK consortia. Treatment receiving 60 kg P2O5/ha + NPK consortia realized the maximum gross return (×103 204.34 `/ha), net return (×103 157.08 `/ha) and B:C ratio (3.32) as compared to other treatments.

“…This is because of increase in absorption of nutrients by plant, improvement of soil characteristics such as contents of organic materials and increase in accessible NPK. All applied biofertilizer treatments resulted in significant increase in productivity of straw and grain/plant and in the total weight of thousand grains (Obid et al, 2016). The highest number of productive tillers due to application of RDF with Bacillus consortia can be attributed to adequate supply of nutrients due to inoculation of Bacillus consortia.…”

In this study, soil samples from the rhizosphere of various uncultivated weeds were collected from fifteen different locations of Gujarat. Heat treatment was given at 65°C for 20 minutes prior to initial screening for spore-forming Bacillus spp. Among them, 20 nitrogen-fixing (NFB), 27 phosphate solubilising (PSB) and 15 potassium mobilizing (KMB) isolates were screened primarily. After molecular identification only Bacillus isolates were further selected and characterized. Three superior Bacillus isolates were selected from each category by secondary screening. All isolates belonging to different category were compatible in nature and showed significant ammonia production, ARA, phosphate solubilisation, potassium mobilization, siderophore production, IAA production and organic acid producers. The relative expression analysis of three genes NRT2.1 (Nitrate transporter), PT6 (Phosphorus transporter), and AKT1 (Potassium transporter) at transcriptional level were performed in the juvenile root tissues of Rice using qRT-PCR technique at 15th, 30th and 45th days after transplanting with Actin as a internal control. Rice transplants were inoculated with different NPK fixing Bacillus consortia, which significantly improved growth parameters as compared to control in field study. Various growth and yield attributing characters of rice viz., plant height (at 60 DAT, 90 DAT, and at harvesting), number of productive tillers, days to 50 % flowering, 100 seed weight, grain yield, straw yield, as well as dry biomass per hectare were significantly influenced by different treatments. An application of 100 % RDF with NPK consortia (T7) treatment of rice crop resulted in significantly higher plant height (49.25 cm at 60 DAT, 107.00 cm at 90 DAT, 129.50 cm at harvesting), days to 50% flowering (75.63), 100 seed weight (3.53 g), number of productive tillers per plant (12.13), grain yield (6889.00 kg ha-1), straw yield (8754.25 kg ha-1) and dry biomass (7889.25 kg ha-1) followed by the treatments T4 (T2 + N consortia), T5 (T2 + P consortia), T6 (T2 + K consortia), and T2 (RDF (NP) 100%). Nutrient content in grain and straw was differing significantly due to different treatments. However, significantly higher N, P, K, content in straw (1.28 %, 0.15 %, and 1.52 %) and grain (2.06 %, 0.23 %, and 0.25 %) respectively, were recorded under the treatment T7. The spore forming Bacillus consortia was able to survive at a wide range of temperature and pH fluctuations and found to be effective as N-fixers, P-solubilizers, K-mobilizers, siderophore producers, IAA producers with having antagonistic activity against rice pathogen Magnaportha oryzae.

“…Pemupukan yang dilakukan dengan pupuk hayati tidak menimbulkan dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan karena tidak mencemari lingkungan (Pratiwi et al 2016). Menurut Mezuan et al (2002) dan (Obid et al 2016) pupuk hayati yang mengandung mikroorganisme meningkatkan aktivitas biologi tanah yang bermanfaat untuk meningkatkan kesuburan tanah dan kualitas tanaman. Bakteri tanah mempunyai peranan yang penting untuk meningkatkan produksi tanaman.…”

The use of biological fertilizers on maize is one way to increase crop productivity which refers to sustainable agriculture. This study aims to determine the effect of biological fertilizers on the growth and yield of hybrid maize. The research was conducted from May to September 2019 at the Jumantono Experimental Garden in Sukosari village, Jumantono, Karanganyar. The method used was a factorial Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with one factor, namely the dose of biological fertilizer consisting of 4 levels, 0, 12, 20, and 28 L.ha-1), Liquid biological fertilizers used are biological fertilizers containing Azospirillum sp., Azotobacter sp., and Bacillus sp. The results showed that the 12 L.ha-1 dose of biofertilizer significantly affected plant height, stem diameter, and leaf area index compared to the control (0 L.ha-1). Biofertilizer was able to increase plant height, stem diameter, and leaf area index by 9.3, 13, and 19%, respectively. The optimum dose of biofertilizer on acid soils was 12 L.ha-1 with a seed yield of 3.5 tons.ha-1 or an increase of 23.02% compared to control. This study concludes that the dose of 12 L.ha-1 can be used as a recommendation to farmers for hybrid maize cultivation on acid land.
