Abstract :

Extensive use of chemical fertilizers to improve plant health and productivity and control of pathogens has disturbed the ecological balance of soil and has led to the depletion of nutrients. It is the need of the day to save our environment from pollution and sustaining crop production. The present study was carried out to quantify the impact of different liquid biofertilizer, vermicompost, urea and muriate of potash on the growth and yield of Chenopodium. A pot culture study was laid out in completely randomized block design and each treatment was replicated three times. The study concluded that the application of liquid biofertilizer with vermicompost and recommended dose of N and K improved the growth and yield of Chenopodium album. Among the four different liquid biofertilizers used (Azospirillum, Phosphobacteria, Azophos and Azophosmet), Azophos along with 50% N and K improved the growth and yield of Chenopodium album tremendously.
