Abstract
Impact of different doses and application methods of biophos (Biofertilizer) on growth and fodder yield of maize
Highlights
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important food and feed crop
Materials and Methods The field study to evaluate the impact of different doses and application methods of biophos on growth and fodder yield of maizewas carried out at Students Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Crop Production, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam during Kharif, 2013
Seed germination (m-2) The results showed in (Table 1) that application of Biophos 10 g kg-1 seed (Seed treatment before sowing) + Biophos 25.0 kg h-1 (Broadcasting) produced maximum seed germination of 33.0 m-2, closely followed by 32.67, 32.33 and 32.00 m-2 recorded from the plots fertilized with Biophos 10 g kg-1 seed (Seed treatment before sowing) + Biophos
Summary
Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important food and feed crop. In Pakistan, maize is the third most important cereal after wheat and rice, being grown on about one million hectares. The growth and yield traits of maize in compounds phosphate-solubilising bacteria and Mycorrhiza fungi treatment were higher than other treatments under drought stress conditions except root colonization. This experiment showed that phosphate solubilising micro-organisms can positively have effect on the increase of plant growth and phosphorus absorption in maize plant, leading to plant tolerance improving under drought stress conditions [7]. Materials and Methods The field study to evaluate the impact of different doses and application methods of biophos (biofertilizer) on growth and fodder yield of maizewas carried out at Students Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Crop Production, Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam during Kharif, 2013.
