ABSTRACT
A field experiment and quality was conducted on a silty loam soil located at
Demonstration Farm of the College of Agricultural Studies, Sudan University
of Science and Technology at Shambat, Sudan, during two growing summer
and winter seasons of 2011/2012 to study the effect of bio-fertilizers on
growth, yield of two hybrids of sunflower. The effect of bio-fertilizers on the
soil were also determined. The bio-fertilizer levels were (Zero, 06.25, 12.5,
18.75 and 25.00 L/Ha) corresponding to F1, F2, F3,F4 and F5 treatments
while the two sunflower hybrids are hysun-33 (V1) and Shambat (V2). The
results showed that, means of growth parameters (plant height, leaf area
index and stem diameter), were higher in hysun-33 than Shambat while
reverse trend was observed in case of number of seeds per head and oil
content. Also, stem diameter, LAI, number of seeds per head, seeds oil
content were highly influenced by bio-fertilizer application and interaction
treatments. The highest, LA and stem diameter were recorded in F3× V1
treatment, while the highest seeds oil content was achieved by F4×V1
treatment. Application of F3 dose of bio- fertilizer showed major influencing
factor in the most of yield attributes in summer season. Moreover, the biofertilizer
(F4 and F5) treatments increased most of the soil properties
characters (Ca, N%, ESC, pH and soil traits) particularly with Shambat
hybrid. In conclusion, under conditions of this investigation, application
of bio-fertilizer at rate of 18.75L/ha to Shambat hybrid sunflower
could be recommended for increasing seed yield and oil % in
sunflower plant. The does of liquid bio fertilizer were added with every
watering intervals, which conducted ten times per season. The experiment
was arranged in split-plot based on a randomized complete block design
with four replications. The main plots were allotted for the two sunflower
hybrids, Hysun33 (V1) and Shambat (V2). While the subplots for biofertilizer
treatments.
