Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during khdrif season of 2014-15 at
experimentation field College of Agriculture, Latur to study the effects of carrier and
liquid based ghtconacetobacter and azotobacter biofertilizers on growth, yield and
economics of kharif sorghum. The soil was clayey in texture, low in available nitrogen
(118.86 kg ha'1), medium in phosphorus (20.42 kg ha‘l), high in potassium (385.89 kg ha'
!) and slightly alkaline in reaction (PH 8.17). The experiment was laid out in Randomized
Block Design with eight treatments viz. Ti-Control, T2-100% RDN, Tg-100% RDN +
carrier based Ghtconacetobacter, T4-100% RDN + liquid based Ghtconacetobacter, Tg-
75% RDN + carrier based Ghtconacetobacter, Tg-75% RDN + liquid based
Ghtconacetobacter, Tj -75% RDN + carrier based Azotobacter, Tg -75% RDN + liquid
based Azotobacter replicated thrice. The recommended cultivation practices were
adopted. The result indicated that, the growth and yield attributing characters of sorghum
viz. plant height, number of functional leaves, leaf area, dry matter accumulation per
plant, length of earhead, weight of earhead and grain weight per plant were significantly
higher with the application of 100% RDN + liquid based Ghtconacetobacter (TO
followed by application of 100% RDN + carrier based Ghtconacetobacter (Tg). The
significantly higher grain yield, gross monetary returns and net monetary returns was
recorded with the application of 100% RDN + liquid based Ghtconacetobacter (TO
followed by application of 100% RDN + carrier based Ghtconacetobacter (Tg). Highest
B: C ratio was also recorded with the application of 100% RDN + liquid based
Ghtconacetobacter (T4).
