| dc.description.abstract | The response of tamarind and jack seedlings to microbial inoculants was studied under nursery conditions during Kharif 2007. The formation of nodules in tamarind due to indigenous Rhizobium was screened and the effect of artificial inoculation of Acacia Rhizobium to induce nodulation in tamarind was studied. It was found that there was no association of Rhizobium to form nodule either with native soil or by artificial inoculation. The combined inoculation of Azotobacter chroococcum+ Bacillus megaterium + Aculospora laveis showed maximum plant height, stem girth, number of leaves, root length, fresh weight, dry weight, general microflora, beneficial microflora and mycorrhizal parameters like percent root colonization and spore count at all the 4 stages in both tamarind and jack seedling growth. viz., 30, 60, 90, and 120 Days after sowing (DAS). The increased Nitrogen and Phosphorous in tamarind and jack seedlings was in the treatment of Azotobacter chroococcum + Bacillus megaterium + Aculospora laveis compared to control. There was a positive interaction among the introduced microbial inoculants in improving the seedling growth of both tamarind and jack. In general, plants treated with combined microbial inoculation gave healthy seedlings compared to treatment having no microbial inoculation or individual inoculation. | en_US |
