Effect of Biofertilizer on Nutrient Absorption in Potato Plant

22 Absorption micro nutrient siginifcantly influenced by biofertilizer application. The improvement was higher in Fe, with the maximum was showed by treatment of B3172.2. Cu and Zn also increased but not as high as Fe, and the maximam value showed by the treatment of B4 102.8 and 111.1 respectively Table 2. Biofertilizer improved total macro and micro nutrient uptake in tomato plant. The highest increased of total macro nutrient absorption obtained by application with centrifuged biofertilizer without storage B4 by about 119.4 with mean 2.63 g per plant, and the highest increase of total micro nutrient absorption recorded by freezedried biofertilizer with storage 3 months B3 followed by B4 about of 124.4 and 116.6 respectevily Figure 4. a.

b.Effect of Biofertilizer on Nutrient Absorption in Potato Plant

Application of biofertilizer in potato plant not significant effect to nutrient absorption. There was atendency that application with liquid biofertilizer had the maximum in macro nutrient absorption Table 3. On the other hand, the maximam absorption micro nutrient showed by application with B5. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 n u tr ie n t ab so r p ti o n m ac r o g p lan t biofertilizer Mg Ca K P N 10000 20000 30000 40000 50000 60000 70000 80000 B0 B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 n u tr ie n t ab so r p ti o n m g p la n t biofertilizer Zn Cu Fe Create PDF files without this message by purchasing novaPDF printer http:www.novapdf.com 23 Table 3 Means of nutrient absorption by application of biofertilizer in potato. treatment Macro Micro Ng Pg Kg Cag Mgg Femg Cumg Znmg B0 2.5 a 0.4 a 4.4 a 0.4 a 0.4 a 39141.7 a 4170.8a 13520.8a B1 3.7 a 0.6 a 6.9a 0.6 a 0.7 a 75025.7 b 5885.8ab 21457.2a B2 3.5 a 0.6 a 5.7a 0.6 a 0.5 a 61617.2ab 5287.1a 19777.6a B3 2.9 a 0.5 a 4.4a 0.4 a 0.4 a 52558 ab 4215.3a 15047.1a B4 2.5 a 0.4 a 4.3a 0.4 a 0.4 a 53622.2 a 5865.7ab 15728.5a B5 3.3 a 0.6 a 6.4a 0.4 a 0.6 a 78176.6 b 8774.9b 21756.0a Where: B0: without biofertilizer, B1: liquid biofertilizer, B2: freezedried biofertilizerwithout storage, B3: freezedried biofertilizer with 3 months storage, B4: centrifuged biofertilizer without storage and B5: centrifuged biofertilizer with 3 months storage. Means fowllowed by same litter in column are not significantly different at level 0, 05 by Duncan. Total macro nutrient absorption tended to increase by application of biofertilizer except in B3 and B4. The highest increased of total macro nutrient were obtained by liquid biofertilizer B1 by about of 53.9 with mean 2.51 g per plant as compared to control as in figure 4. In the total micro nutrient absorption, the highest increased was recorded by centrifuged biofertilizer with 3 months storage B5 by about of 91.3 with mean 36235.8 mg per plant as compared to control Figure 5.
