Abstract

Natural ability of blue green algae (BGA) is to fix atmospheric N was studied under field condition and its effect on growth of Soyabean was evaluated. The experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2016 at Deolali-Pravara, Rahuri tahasil Dist. Ahmednagar (MS). Application BGA significantly improved growth of soyabean, as reflected in terms of plant height, No. of leaves and No. of branches over control and application of nitrogen fertilizer. BGA can thus be considered as a promising bio-fertilizer for Soyabean for enhancement of growth.
