 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2017-18 was carried out at Department of Plant Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology, PGI MPKV, Rahuri.(Maharashtra) to study the combine effect of inoculation of Methylobacterium and B.Japonicum and foliar spray of Methylobacterium isolates on plant growth and yield of soybean under field conditions.  All growth and yield parameters of soybean as well as the population of Methylobacterium were influenced by the (S.T of Rhizobium +S.T of PPFMs +Foliar spray consortium of PPFMs + 100 % N) which was significantly superior over rest of all the treatments and it was at par with treatment (S.T of Rhizobium +S.T of PPFMs +Foliar spray consortium of PPFMs + 75 % N) during flowering and harvesting stage. This shows that the consortium of efficient strain of PPFMs could reduce N fertilizer application in field condition.
