BIOPRIMING OR INCULATION BY USING STRAINS OF BACTERIA ON YIELD AND YIELD CONTRIBUTING TRAITS IN MAIZE
Murat Erman
Abstract
Phytopathogenic and toxinogenic Fusarium spp. infections of maize can develop at any time throughout the growing season. This can result in a variety of illnesses in the plants vegetative and generative parts. Mycotoxins are frequently created and deposited in damaged tissues in conjunction with these illnesses, posing a considerable danger to human and animal health when they enter the food and feed chain. To get rid of the pathogen, biopriming is accomplished through different bacteria strains that have favourable properties of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), such as making various soil minerals easily available for plant development. Bacterial strains (TV119E, B2: TV83D) belong to the Bacillus genus and exhibit strong nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilizing activity. The DKC6664, DKC 6050, and DKC 6101 cultivars were used to bioprime these strains. According to the mean of years, the cultivar DKC6664 with 100 percent inorganic fertiliser produced the tallest plant height (219 cm), seed weight/ear (171.3gm), seed ratio in ear (85%), 1000 seed weight (326.7 gm), and the DKC 6101 showed the highest grains/ear (350.1 gm), hectolitre weight (75 kg), seed yield (9768 kg/da) and biological yeild (12806 kg/ha). The results show that 100% inorganic fertiliser is the most effective, followed by a consortium of bacterial strains.
