Avdhesh Pratap Singh, Archana Verma, Rajpal Singh and Rohit Kumar

Abstract

A field Experiment was carried out to study the effect of biofertilizers on growth and yield of wheat at agriculture farm of Amar Singh College, Lakhaoti, Bulandshahr. In the experiment, six treatments were undertaken where different doses and types of biofertilizers and decomposers viz., seed treatment without any inoculant (T1), seed treatment with Azotobactor (T2), soil treatment with PSB (T3), soil treatment with Azotobacter + PSB (T4), soil treatment with Pusa decomposer (T5), seed treatment with Azotobactor + PSB + Pusa decomposer (T6) were studied. It was found that growth parameters, which were plant height (cm), dry weight (g), number of tillers, number of spikes per plant, grains per spike was found significantly higher under the effect of T6, where Azotobactor, PSB and Pusa decomposer were applied in combined manner. Grain yield and straw yield was also found to be significantly higher under the effect of T6.
