 ABSTRACT

Use of Microbial inoculants in association with inorganic fertilizers has been proving beneficial in different crops by augmenting the production and reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. The Current research was aimed to study the use of microbial inoculants (Azospirillum, Azotobactor, PSB and KSB) in Brinjal crop at the Vegetable Farm of Division of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Wadura, SKUAST (K), during Kharif 2016. The results of the experiment showed that the application of microbial inoculants viz., Azospirillum + PSB+KSB alongwith 100 % RFD (T8) produced highest fruit yield with  maximum  growth parameters. Comparatively higher effect of Azospirilum than the azotobacter was observed on the yield and growth parameters of the Brinjal crop.

Keywords: Brinjal, Microbial Inoculants, Azospirilum, Azotobacter, PSB, KSB.
