Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted to study the effect of potassium mobilizing bacteria (KMB) on growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake in Nanasaheb Purple grapes during 2018-19. The KMB product “Jaiv Shakti K” (Embio Ltd.) was applied through soil application at 60^th, 75^th, 90^thdays after fruit pruning at a different concentration of 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 ml/vine and different characters like growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake were studied at different stages of development. Growth parameters, quality parameters, berry biochemical parameters and petiole nutrient content showed significant difference to the various concentration levels of KMB application. It is also observed that there is positive correlation between applied KMB concentration and growth, yield, quality and nutrient uptake.
