IMPACT OF BIOCHAR, VERMICOMPOST AND MICROBIAL INOCULANTS ON PRODUCTIVITY OF WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM)Ajit Kumar Meena, R.H. Meena, S.C. Meena, S. K. Sharma, H.K. Jain and M.K. MahlaAbstract A field experiment was conducted for two consecutive years during Rabi season of the year 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. The experiment was done in a randomized block design with three replications and eleven treatments of different dose of biochar, vermicompost with microbial inoculants. The results showed that, biochar, vermicompost and seed inoculation with microbial inoculants (Azotobacter + Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria) significantly improved grain yield, straw yield and biological yield with the application of 10 t ha-1 Vermicompost + Azotobacter + PSB (T3) as compared to rest of the treatment. Furthermore, T3 also significantly improved the productivity of wheat. It is concluded that combined application of Vermicompost with Microbial Inoculants in Treatment (T3) caused considerable increase in productivity over all the treatments thus balanced nutrition under favourable environment might have helped in production of wheat. |
