Abstract

An experiment was conducted during 2005–06 to study the effect of fertilizers, biofertilizers and micronutrients on plant growth, seed yield and quality of brinjal. The results indicated that, application of 100:100*:50 kg NPK per ha + Azospirillum + Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) each @ 125 g per ha (root dipping) along with zinc sulphate (0.2%) spray recorded significantly higher plant height (89.47 cm), number of branches (32), number of leaves (87), number of fruits (20), fruit yield (27.06 t/ha), number of seeds per fruit (1852), 1000-seed weight (7.90 g), seed yield (633 kg/ha), percentage of germination (97), field emergence (91), seedling vigour index (2024) and seedling dry weight (48.84 mg) over 125:100:50 Kg NPK/ha (RDF) at Dharwad conditions.
