Description |
A pot culture study conducted to know the effect of individual and combined microbial inoculants on growth and yield of ginger has revealed that, combined application of Azospirillum brasilense + Aspergillus niger + Trichoderma harzianum + Glomus fasciculatum was best in improving the plant growth. Based on the results of pot culture studies, the above microbial consortia was further tested at three levels of N,P and Zn with FYM / Vermicompost in a location trial (field experiment) conducted at Aladahalli village of Hassan taluk. Combined inoculation of Azospirillum brasilense + Aspergillus niger + Trichoderma harzianum + Glomus fasciculatum with 100 per cent N, P, K and Zn + FYM was found best and was statistically on par with A. brasilense + A. niger + T. harzianum + G. fasciculatum + 75% N, P, Zn + 100% K + FYM in improving the plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves and leaf area at 45, 90, 135 and 180 days after planting with increase in rhizome yield, oleoresin content, plant nutrient uptake and lowest rhizome rot. Among these two treatments the above microbial consortia with 75% N, P, Zn + 100% K + FYM was found economically advantageous in obtaining higher yield and in terms of saving 25% N, P and Zn application. The best treatment combination A. brasilense + A. niger + T. harzianum + G. fasciculatum + 75% N, P, Zn + 100% K + FYM was further tested in eight different villages of Hassan taluk (multi-location trials) in comparison with farmers practice and UAS(B) recommended package of practice. Results showed that the above tretment combination was found best in improving the growth and yield of ginger. |
