 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 nutrient status of soybean under field conditions.  The available nitrogen in soil and the uptake of nutrients (N P K )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 clearly indicate that the PPFMs along with the B Japonicum plays an imp role in reducing N fertilizer application in field condition. There is also a positive correlation between PPFMs and available nitrogen as well as uptake of nutrients along with the yield of crop which clearly shows that the application of efficient strain of PPFMs also increases the available nitrogen as well as uptake of nutrients along with the yield of crop.

Keywords: Methylobacterium, Pink pigmented facultative methylotrophs, Soybean.
