Abstract

Application of P-biofertilizer (Bacillus megaterium )and P-chemical fertilizers (rock phosphate and superphosphate) with and without organic farmyard manure   was studied in a 3-factor field  experiment on maize (Zea mays ). Factors being P-biofertilizer(B), P-chemical fertilizer(P) and  organic manure(M). Treatments being: B0 (no-biofertilizer), and B1 (P-dissolving B.megaterium bacteria)P0 (no P), P1 (rock phosphate 70 kg Pha-1) and  P2(calcium superphosphate  35 kg P ha-1),  M0 (no manure), M1 (24 Mg ha-1) and  M2 (48 Mg ha-1). Treatment not receiving any material gave 3.62  Mg grains ha-1 . Applying  any or more of the materials increased grain yield by as low as  1% by B0P0M1  to  13% by  B0P0M2   , up to 87% by B1P2M0  and as high as 129%  by B1P2M2..Increase main effects were: B = 40.4% ,  P = 25.6%  for P1 and 20.0 % for P2; although P2  surpassed P1 in presence of the biofertilizer  which enhanced soluble P-fertilizer.M=  5.1% for  M1 and  20.0% for M2 effictive in presence or in absence of  the biofetilizer. N,P,K,Fe,Mn,Zn and Cu residual in soil after harvest increased were by up to , 38,84, 42, 112, 269, 78, and 83 % for each respectively ; and highest availble contents were 91, 9.8, 308, 4.94, 1.55,1.51 and 0.42 mgkg-1 for each respectively.
