Abstract

An experiment was conducted during the year 2014-15 in Microbiology Laboratory, Division of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, ICAR- IIHR, Hesaraghatta, Bengaluru, India for “Evaluating the zinc solubilizing bacterial strains on growth, yield and quality of Tomato”. The experiment consisted of six treatments with five replications, including five different zinc solubilizing bacteria (Bacillus aryabhattai, Pseudomonas taiwenensis, Bacillus sp. (PAN-TM1), Enterobacter oryzae and Bacillus aerophilus) and uninoculated control, out of five bacteria Bacillus aryabhattai was used as reference strain. The results revealed that tomato seedlings treated with Bacillus sp. (PAN-TM1) recorded highest growth parameters viz., plant height (94.1 cm), no. of branches/plant (27.6), stem girth (2.05 cm), total biomass (30.7 gm.). While the Bacillus aryabhattai treated plants recorded significantly highest Yield and quality parameters viz., no. of flowers per plant (84.7), fruit weight (62.1 gm.), fruit diameter (7.5 cm), no. of fruits/plant (49.6) and fruit yield/plant (3.08 kg). Quality parameters viz., Chlorophyll content (1.57 mg/gm), phenol content (2.32μg/gm), ascorbic acid content (14.09mg/100gm) and lycopene content (3.23 mg/100gm) compared to all other ZSB inoculated Tomato plants.
