Potential Role of Organic Matters and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) on the Growth and Productivity of Fenugreek
A field experiment was conducted during 2009-2011 at the Aligarh Muslim University Agricultural Research Farm, India, to evaluate the efficacious nature of some oil-seed cakes such as neem cake and castor cake, a botanical <em>Calotropis procera</em> and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB)<em> Pseudomonas fluorescens</em> singly and in various combinations, on the growth and productivity of <em>Trigonella</em> plant. Growth parameters included fresh and dry weight, pollen fertility (%), pods plant<sup>-1</sup>, root-nodule index, nitrate reductase activity, and chlorophyll content. Productivity was calculated in terms of N, P, and K in plant as well as in soil. Although all the parameters were significantly increased in these treatments, single application was comparatively less effective than the combined applications. Among oil-seed cakes, neem cake was found better in promoting plant growth than castor cake, followed by <em>C</em>. <em>procera</em> and PSB. Root-nodulation also showed a considerable increase in combined treatments. Maximum growth and productivity were observed in the combined inoculation of neem cake, castor cake, <em>C</em>. <em>procera</em> and PSB, as compared to other treatments including inorganic fertilizers and untreated one.
