Chemicals and bio-inoculants

Due to climate change, abiotic and biotic stresses like soil salinity, drought, pH, high temperature and plant fungal diseases are major threat for agriculture production and which reduces the growing demand of food of the population. To cope the adverse effect of such stresses, use of wide variety of synthetic chemical fertilizers cause serious hazardous effects on environment, soil, water and human health. Use of microorganisms as a bioinoculants is a new green eco-friendly technology for sustainable agriculture production and can lessen the effect of these stresses.

The investigation was carried out at the Horticultural Research Station, Dr. Y. S. R. Horticultural University, Andhra Pradesh during Rabi 2017-18 to study the effect of bioinoculants and inorganics on quality characters of carrot. Two factors were taken, the first factor being the chemical fertilizers at three levels (100%, 75%, 50% of RDF) and the second factor was the different combinations of five biofertilizers (PSB, KSB, Azospirillum, Azotobacter, VAM).The experimental design adopted was the factorial RBD with 12 treatment combinations.
