Abstract:
An investigation was conducted at research farm, Department of Horticulture, Udai Pratap Autonomous College, Bhojubeer, Varanasi (U.P.) during 2018-19 to assess the effect of integrated use of nitrogen and biofertilizer on growth of cabbage cv. Golden Acre. The experiment comprised of 12 treatments viz. T0- Control, T1 - Azotobacter, T2 – Azospirillum, T3 - 75% RDN + No biofertilizer, T4 - 75% of RDN + Azotobacter, T5 - 75% of RDN + Azospirillum, T6 - 100% of RDN + No Biofertilizer, T7 - 100% of RDN + Azotobacter, T8 - 100% of RDN + Azospirillum T9 - 125% of RDN + No Biofertilizer, T10 - 125% of RDN + Azotobacter, T11- 125% of RDN + Azospirillum were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. The treatments T4 (75% of RDN + Azotobacter) was recorded maximum plant height (43.88cm), Seed germination (%) (75.13), plant stand (23.93), plant spread cm³ (43.88), number of non-wrapper leaves (15.26), number of wrapper leaves (30.29) and diameter of stem (19.70mm). It was statistically at par with 75% of RDN + Azotobacter inoculation.
