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. Maize 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 Maize 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 Maize showed positive effects in vegetative growth
after 14 days of plantation. The increase in maximum percent growth recorded
after application of A. chroococcum was 49.82%. A. chroococcum
can be effectively used as PGPR for Maize crop.
