| Abstract: | Efficacy of native bioinoculants, viz. AM fungi and Azotobacter, separately as well as in combination was evaluated for
enhancing biomass productivity of Morus
alba, Populus deltoides, Psidium guajava and Leucaena leucocephala under different agroforestry models along with other plant
species. The combination of all plant species tested was found to be favourable
with respect to growth, yield and microbial population in soil. The combined
inoculation of AM fungi and Azotobacter gave
the best results. AM fungi were cultured on Zea
mays, Trigonella foenum-graecum, Ricinus communis, Vigna radiata, Solanum
melongena and Lycopersicon esculenum, wherein R. communis
was found to be the best host plant. |
