Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2019 at the Experimental farm, College of Agricultural Biotechnology, Latur to Study the effect of biofertilizer on growth, yield and economics of sesame (Sesamum indicum). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and treatments were consisting of eight with chemical fertilizers and liquid biofertilizer. The treatments were, T1-RDF 50:25:00 Kg NPK ha^-1, T2-50% RDF + Azotobacter T3-75% RDF + Azotobacter, T4^-100% RDF + Azotobacter, T5-50% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, T6-75% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, T7^-100% RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, T8-Control. The results of the field study indicated that the yield attributes and yield of sesame were significantly influenced by different treatments The significantly higher number seed capsule^-1 (63.30), seed yield plant^-1 (6.13 g), seed yield ha^-1 (780 kg ha^-1) and straw yield (3060 kg ha^-1) was obtained with the application of 100% RDF+Azotobacter+PSB (T7),The higher values of yield attributes and yield of sesame was observed with the application of 100%RDF+Azotobacter+PSB (T7) where as it was at par with the 100% RDF+Azotobacter (T4) and 75%RDF+Azotobacter+PSB (T6).
