Abstract
The present investigation entitled, "Effect of Azotobacter, Arbuscular mycorrhiza
on the growth and yield of brinjal" was conducted during kharif 2022-23 at an
experimental farm of the Department of Plant Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology,
Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri. An experiment was laid out in a Randomized
Block Design. Brinjal seedlings of variety (Phule Arjun) were treated with liquid broth of
Azotobacter and Arbuscular mycorrhiza before transplanting with 7 treatments and 3
replications. Observations regarding growth, yield, Nutrient uptake and microbial count
status were recorded.
The maximum plant height at flowering (62.73 cm), at harvesting (94.33cm) and
root length (45.15 cm). were recorded in treatment T2 i.e. 100% RDF + Azotobacter +
Arbuscular mycorrhiza,
The maximum Total number of fruit per plant (46.50), and maximum weight of
fruits (21.86 t ha-1), fruit yield (42.98 t ha-1) were recorded in treatment T2 i.e. 100% RDF
+ Azotobacter + Arbuscular mycorrhiza. The treatment T2 recorded 32.81% increase in
yield over control and % increase over 100% RDF.
