Abstract:
A study was conducted on “Influence of different biofertilizers and their mode of application on nitrogen saving and maize crop performance” during rabi 2020-21 at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad, to study the effect of biofertilizers and their method of application and utilize it in the integrated nutrient management to study their effect on soil properties, growth, yield and nutrient uptake in maize crop. Soil of the experimental site was indicated that soil was slightly alkaline (pH 7.55) in reaction, non-saline (0.55 dS m^-1), low in available nitrogen (185.36 kg ha^-1), medium in available P₂O₅ (43 kg ha^-1) and high in available K₂O (302.68 kg ha^-1) with medium (5.9 g kg^-1) organic carbon content.
