Impact of biofertilizers on growth, yield and nutritional composition of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.)
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Organic farming benefits greatly from the use of biofertilizers because they are affordable, environmentally friendly and quickly increase soil fertility.Eight treatments were undertaken to evaluate the impact of Azospirillum brasilense, Pseudomonas putida and Brevibacillus brevis on the growth, yield and nutritional characteristics of coriander.The study used a Randomized Block Design for its execution.In comparison to the control (T0), the treatment involving the combined inoculation of Azospirillum brasilense + Pseudomonas putida + Brevibacillus brevis (T7) exhibited considerably higher collar diameter, plant height, leaf count, fruit count, fresh weight of leaves & fruits and various nutrition.The enhanced intake of nitrogen, phosphorus and other critical nutrients for coriander growth may be the cause of the increases in growth & yield parameters and nutritional composition in treatments with biofertilizers.
