| Abstract: |
Microbial inoculants (MI), a biofertilizer, composed of many different beneficial
microorganisms has positive role on seed germination and growth of plants. In the
present study, its efficacy on seed germination and seedling growth of Albizia lebbeck
in the nursery was studied. The seeds were sown in polybags filled with a mixture of
forest soil and cow dung (3:1) and treated with 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10%
concentrations of MI. Most of the parameters studied (seed germination, shoot and
root lengths, dry weights of shoot and root, collar diameter, leaf number etc) were
found maximum in 2% of MI . Although the highest vigor index, volume index and
quality index (7053, 3738 and 1.106, respectively) were found in 2% MI, but the
highest sturdiness (65.95) was found in 1% MI solution. The nodule number was
higher at a very low (0.5%) concentration of MI but it normally decreased with the
increase of concentration. Total pigment content in leaf was recorded highest (112.86
mg.L-1) in 2% of MI. Therefore, MI influences seed germination and seedling growth
of A. lebbeck and the low concentration (2%) of the inoculant can be recommended
for getting maximum seed germination and seedling growth of the species studied.
