An Efficacy of Multi-Functional Liquid Biofertilizers on Mandarin Oranges: Field Experiment Results
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The present investigation entitled “Studies on liquid biofertilization of soil and its impact on growth, quality and productivity of mandarin oranges was conducted in a well established mandarin orange orchard with 5 years old orange trees planted at 6 x 6 m spacing having uniform growth and productivity at Dhapewada Farm, Maharashtra, India during 2016-2018. The results revealed that, there were significant variations in growth and yield of sweet orange due to application liquid biofertilizer formulation (Acetobacter, Azotobacter Psudeomonas, Trichoderma, Frateuria). Field trials revealed a significant increase in height of the plant (5.5-26%), stem diameter (5.3 - 25.7%), weight of fruit (9.6 - 36.5%) and a number of fruits (7.0 - 29.7%) using formulation T-5 in comparison to T-1 during the year 2016-18.
