Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Azotobacterin inoculum prepared in the laboratory was used as a substitute of nitrogenous fertilizer in jute crop production. The experiment was carried out in pots with surface soil (0-6" depth) collected from the farm area of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. Dry matter yield of shoot and root and length of shoot and root after 40 and 60 day harvests were recorded. Soil inoculation gave maximum yield at 60 day harvest (17.67% over control). The whole study of seed and soil inoculation revealed the fact that soil inoculation proved superior to seed inoculation and control but seed inoculation performed somewhat better than the control itself. The fact has been proved statistically.

Keywords: Effect, Azotobacterin, Dry matter, Jute

Location: Bangladesh Agricultural University Farm, Mymensingh

Start Date:

End Date:

Program Area: Crop-Soil-Water Management

Commodity: Jute

Objectives:

To isolate and prepare Azotobacterin for using as fertilizer.

Methodology:

The soil was collected from the Bangladesh Agricultural University Farm at a depth of 0-6" in order to investigate the presence of Azotobacter spp. Experimental analysis showed abundant occurrence of Azotobacter spp. (1400 /g of soil) and hence the soil sample was collected from the same location to be used in the experiment for raising jute plants.
