Abstract
Plant Growth Promoting Azotobacter spp.
(PGPR) improves yield by the production of phytohormones, IAA, ACC-deaminase,
phosphate solubilization. Azotobacter spp. introduced to cereal crops as
PGPR which is economically best alternative to chemical fertilizers. During the
present investigation application of Azotobacter spp. as PGPR on
non-leguminous crops i.e. Wheat was carried out. A. chroococcum was
used for present investigation and the effect on vegetative growth of plants
was studied. The results were observed after 63 days from the date of sowing
and the difference in average results were recorded in observation tables.
After studying all the parameters, overall growth of Wheat crop after the
application of A. chroococcum were described. All the parameters were
studied in replications showed increased growth in treated plants as compared
to control plants. So, it can be summarized that application of A.
chroococcum as PGPR on Wheat showed positive effects in vegetative growth
after 20 days. The increase in maximum percent growth recorded after
application of A. chroococcum was 56.02%. A. chroococcum can be
effectively used as PGPR for Wheat crop.
