Yield of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) applied with different biofertilizers and plant biostimulants

Excessive used of synthetic chemicals affects yield and income of farmers. Agricultural intensification through the use of biofertilizers and biostimulants is needed. As support to biofertilizer and biostimulant production, this project aimed to determine the effect of bio-products as microbial inoculant and plant stimulant on growth and yield, and determine which treatment combinations increase the yield of mungbean. The experiment employed a Factorial Completely Randomized Design with three replicates with biofertilizers (A1-Control+Recommended Rate, A2-Rhizobium+Recommended Rate and A3-Azospirillum+Recommended Rate only) as factor A, and biostimulants (B1-Control, B2-humic acid, B3-carrageenan and B4-AMO organic supplement as factor B. Rhizobium combined with humic acid are influenced the root length, number of pods and weight of seeds or seed yield, growth and development as well as it increases the of yield of mungbean. The strain of rhizobium and humic acid is an appropriate combination supplemented to the recommended rate of inorganic fertilizer, thus increasing the growth and yield parameter of mungbean. Considering the positive effects of rhizobium and humic acid, the findings may provide new insights in the interactions between biofertilizers and biostimulants which may affect its growth and development, hence, government agencies, and private companies mandated to produce biofertilizers and biostimulants to adapt and commercialize. published by the International Journal of Agronomy and Agricultural Research (IJAAR)
