Impact of Bio-Fertilizer and Gypsum on Growth, Yield and Quality of Sugar Cane

Abstract

Sugar cane is mostly sown in loamy soil that provides absolute situation which enhance the root development and reduce the extent of the next crop .The importance of our study was to show the utilization of gypsum , BOP 20% Phosphorus and 25% organic matter used on root development and their impacts on the cane yield and quality of sugar cane as compared to inorganic fertilizers. Application of gypsum and bio fertilizer increase the sugar recovery about 0.2 to 0.4 . Three level of gypsum mixed into the soil 150kg,300kg 500 kg and BOP apply 100 kg per acre into rows and standard NPk, and noted in T4 that max growth percentage 75.38%, and more stem girth inches 3.57 and brix was seen 16.71 ultimately more production up to 56 ton / ha of sugar cane while in control plot growth percentage was 39.38% , normal stem girth was seen1.83 inches and brix was seen 10.71 , less production 21.03 ton /ha . Bio fertilizer increase the soil texture by improving overall standard (Tate 1987), That will increase the moisture retention in the soil as well as exchange of gases . Therefore bio fertilizer have great importance to decrease the soil borne disease (Hointtink and Fahay 1986) As to increase the structure and absorption ability of fertilizer (Duluca and Deluca 1987). Suggests that gypsum and BOP rate in our study, gypsum apply and BOP apply into rows is the preferred practices for sugar cane cultivation on alkali soil.
