Phyto-morphological and growth variations in oil palm seedlings under influence of microbial fertilizers and agrochemicals

The nursery experiment was conducted to observe influence of microbial fertilizers on growth of oil palm seedlings for two consecutive years. Azotobacter chroococcum, Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus megaterium, Frateuria aurantia and Glomus aggregatum were the microbial fertilizers used individually, combindly and integrated with chemical fertilizers. All the treatments were found markedly superior to the control with respect to morphological and growth characters of oil palm seedlings.
