Effect of azotobacter, bacillus, and pseudomonas-based biofertilizers on growth and yield of green gram


Sandeep Gorkhnath Rathod and Dr. Purnima Shrivastav

This study investigates the effects of Azotobacter, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas-based biofertilizers on the growth and yield of green gram (Vigna radiata). Conducted at SDMVMS College of Agricultural Biotechnology, Aurangabad, Maharashtra. the experiment involved eight treatments: control (no biofertilizer), and single or combined applications of Azotobacter, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas. Key growth parameters such as plant height, number of branches, and dry weight, as well as yield parameters including number of pods, pod length, number of seeds per pod, seed yield, and stover yield, were measured. Results indicated that the combination of all three biofertilizers (T8: Azotobacter + Bacillus + Pseudomonas) had the most significant impact on plant growth and yield. At 60 days after sowing (DAS), T8 produced the tallest plants (65 cm), the highest number of branches (10 branches per plant), and the greatest dry weight (4.0 g). In terms of yield, T8 also resulted in the highest number of pods per plant (15), longest pods (5.5 cm), highest seed yield (1200 kg/ha), and highest stover yield (1900 kg/ha). The control treatment (T1) showed the lowest values for all parameters, with plant height at 50 cm, 6 branches per plant, 2.0 g dry weight, 10 pods per plant, 4.5 cm pod length, 800 kg/ha seed yield, and 1300 kg/ha stover yield. These findings suggest that the use of combined Azotobacter, Bacillus, and Pseudomonas biofertilizers (T8) can significantly enhance the growth, yield, and overall productivity of green gram, offering a promising, sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers.
