Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2023 at research farm, Department of Plant Pathology RCSM college of Agriculture, Kolhapur to determine the “Effect of Azospirillum and KSB on growth and yield of finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.)”. In the present study, The co-inoculation of Azospirillum and potash solubilizing bacteria (KSB) along with application of 75% of recommended dose of nitrogen, potash and 100% of recommended dose of phosphorus was recorded the highest seed germination (96.16 %), plant height at 30 DAS (34.58 cm), 60 DAS (56.65 cm) and at harvest (122.63 cm), number of tillers at 30 DAS (2.27), 60 DAS (6.67) and at harvest (7.89),number of fingers per ear head (8.73), finger length (9.70 cm),1000 seed wt.(3.18 g), grain yield per plant (6.20 g),grain yield per ha (19.09 qt),straw yield (24.81 qt) whereas available N (218.27 Kg/ha), available P (33.26 Kg/ha) and available K (319.32 Kg/ha) in the soil. The coinoculation of Azospirillum and potash solubilizing bacteria (KSB) along with application of 75% of recommended dose of nitrogen, potash and 100% of recommended dose of phosphorus was recorded highest Azospirillum and potash solubilizing bacteria (KSB) microbial count i.e. (30.72 × 104 CFU g -1 soil) and (15.28 × 104 CFU g -1 soil) at 50% flowering.
