A STUDY ON EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST VAM FUNGI NITROGEN FIXING BACTERIA AND PHOSPHATE SOLUBILIZING BACTERIA ON GROWTH PARAMETERS AND PHYSIOLOGY OF TRIBULUS TERRESTRIS L.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To find out the effect of biofertilizers on the growth and yield of Tribulus terrestris by using vermicompost, vesicular mycorrhiza (VAM), phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PBS), nitrogen-fixing bacteria individually and in combination under garden house environment.
Materials and Methods: The plant seedlings were gathered at different intervals on the 30th, 60th, and 90th days later the transplantations. By the inoculation of vermicompost, VAM fungi, and phosphate solubilizing, nitrogen-fixing microorganisms shows in improvement of growth parameters as like plant shoot height, root length, a number of leaves, leaf area, fresh shoot biomass and fresh root biomass, dry shoot biomass and dry root biomass, chlorophyll content, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar, starch, protein and lipid content in the root samples.
Results: The result highlights the significance of biofertilizer inoculations for the fast development of seedlings of a medicinal plant (Tribulus terrestris) grown in a garden house and shows the benefit of inoculating soil with fewer microbial inhabitants with aboriginal microbes.
Conclusion: Overall results revealed that the biofertilizers are the better supplements that can improve and show the maximum growth and yield with all inoculations than the individual.
