Co-inoculation Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Growth, Yield and Nutrient Uptake in Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of Azospirillium brasilense and Bacillus subtilis along with graded level of chemicals fertilizers on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of wheat (Triticum aestivum) cluring Rabi, 2018 at Agronomy farm, Rajarshee Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj College of Agriculture, Kolhapur. The co-inoculation effect of Azospirillium brasilense and Bacillus subtilis along with 75% nitrogen and Phosphorus and 100% potassium recorded highest plant height at tillering (25.00),plant height at flowering (87.80cm) plant height at maturity (90.53cm), number of tillers sq.m1 (403.00).In addition ,ear length (14.77cm),number of spikelets ear­-1 (42.87), number of grain ear-1 (38.33) ,1000 grain weight (43.88gm), gram yield (50.63q/ha) straw yield (75.93 q/ha) and uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus by wheat plant also found to be increased 120.00 kg hand 37.00kg/ha respectively.
