Growth enhancing association of gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus and am fungi in sugarcane

The field experiment was conducted with three different level of nitrogen. Phosphorus and muriate of potash namely 50%, 75% and 100% and set treatment with Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus and Soil application of AM Fungi were studied in randomized block design. In the present investigation significant improvements were observed in sugarcane germination percentage, cane height, cane girth, individual cane weight, milleable canes and cane yield. The highest growth parameters and yield noticed in treatment T9-50% NPK + G. diazotrophicus + AM fungi. The results also confirmed that the use of these microbes as biofertilizers would support and enhance sugar cane yield equivalent to or greater than yields supported by recommended inorganic N.P. and K fertilizers.
