Abstract:
The proposed investigation was carried out in Department of Agricultural Microbiology laboratory and field experiment was conducted in instructional cum research farm, Collage of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during 2018-19 Rabi season on maize crop (sweet corn), variety sugar-75. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with twelve treatments and three replications. Treatment details T1 (Absolute control no Potassium), T2 (GRD, NPK 120:60:60), T3 (Isolate No.1 + 75% K of GRD), T4 (Isolate No.2 + 75% K of GRD), T5 (Isolate No.3 + 75% K of GRD), T6 (Isolate No.4 + 75% K of GRD), T7 (Isolate No.5 + 75% K of GRD), T8 (Isolate No.6 + 75% K of GRD), T9 (Isolate No.7 + 75% K of GRD), T10 (Isolate No.8 + 75% K of GRD), T11 (Isolate No.9 + 75% K of GRD), T12 (Isolate No.10 + 75% K of GRD). The treatment T4 (Isolate No.2 + 75% K of GRD) is best bacterial isolates by which seed inoculation with KSB which improve crop growth, yield, plant height and also increased of grain and shoot weight. It improve better uptake of potassium by crop from soil.
