Response of rabi Grain Sorghum to Different form of Biofertilizers

Abstract

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is fifth most important cereal of globe (Taylor, 2019) produced in arid and semi-arid regions that are characterised by soil and climate constraints to which major cereals including maize are less well adapted. In India, sorghum grown in rabi season is preferred for human consumption thus has gained prominence to its kharif season. This is evident from the fact that rabi season accounted for 52.7% of total sorghum grain production of 3.76 m t (201819). Low productivity was ascribed to moisture stress that aggravates mineral nutrient stress. The escalating cost of inorganic fertilizers, environmental hazards associated with them and failure in sustaining yields have given way for integrated use of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients, International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN: 2319-7706 Volume 10 Number 02 (2021) Journal homepage: http://www.ijcmas.com
