ABSTRACT
The present experiment was conducted on ten years old sweet orange cv. Mosambi trees of uniform growth at experimental orchard of Kurumurthy, Mahaboobnagar, Telangana, India during 2014-15 and 2015-16. It confirmed that in combination of Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Trichoderma, PSB along with RDF enhanced the yield and quality parameters of sweet orange. Among the various nineteen combinations, overall performance of treatment T18 (Azotobacter + Azospirillum + Trichoderma + PSB + 75% RDF) was superior over other all treatments. It was helpful to enhance the yield and quality of sweet orange. Highest net income was obtained with the application of treatment T18 (Azotobacter + Azospirillum + Trichoderma + PSB + 75% RDF) having highest benefit cost ratio for every rupee invested during the both the years.
Key words :
Azospirillum, Azotobacter, PSB, Recommended doses of fertilizers, Trichoderma, Yield & quality attributes.
