Selection of Suitable Biofertilizers for Production of Quality Planting Stock of Adansonia Digitata

Archana Sharma, Pradeep Vasudeva

Abstract: Adansonia digitata L. (family Malwaceae) is commonly known as baobab tree is, native to Africa and is widely used for agro forestry, construction, and aesthetics. The study evaluates the effects of different biofertilizers on growth and biomass of A. digitata seedlings in a nursery. Various combinations of biofertilizers were tested, and the results indicate that PSB and Rhizobium treatments significantly enhanced seedling height, biomass and survival compare to the control. The maximum seedling length of 238 cm and biomass of 250.17 gm were recorded with PSB treatment, with a survival rate of 100%. The results indicate that biofertilizers play a significant and complex role in plant growth and survival of Adansonia digitata.
