Effects of Nitrogen and <I>Rhizobium</I> Inoculation Treatments on some Growth Parameters in <I>Albizia lebbek</I> (L). Benth Seedlings

Abstract

In this study, Albizia lebbek seedlings were treated with and without inorganic nitrogen and inoculated with Rhizobium. It was observed that the plants treated with both nitrogen and Rhizobium performed better than those, which received either one of them or none (control). Growth parameters i.e., plant height, collar diameter and root length were observed to follow an increasing pattern with growth irrespective of the nature of treatment. New leaf flushes appeared from April onwards reaching maximum in the month of August and September, followed a decreasing trend thereafter.
