The Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria Strains on Yield and Some Quality Parameters of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Abstract

This research was carried out under field conditions to determine the effect of PGPB on the yield and quality of Pulsar F1 eggplant variety under Igdir ecological conditions in 2021. The experiment was conducted with 8 treatments (Brevibacillus reuszeri strain IT 119, Kluyvera cyrocrescens strain IT 160, IT 119 + IT 160, IT 119 + Fertilizer, IT 160 + Fertilizer, IT 119 + IT 160 + Fertilizer, Fertilizer and Negative Control) with 3 replications according to the randomized block design. Bacterial strains were applied by inoculating 100 ml (106 cfu/ml) to the root zone of the plants during seedling stage. PGPB treatments increased total yield, discard yield, marketable yield, plant height, plant stem thickness, number of leaves, plant root wet weight, plant root dry weight, stem wet weight, stem dry weight, number of fruits per plant, fruit wet weight, fruit dry weight and root length compared to negative and positive control groups. The treatments had no effect on fruit diameter. Although both strains were found to be successful, especially Kluyvera cyrocrescens strain IT 160 alone and in combination showed positive effects in terms of the parameters examined in eggplant plants and has the potential to be used as biofertilizer.
