Abstract
Use of biological fertilizers is one of the most important steps in remediating soil contaminated by chemical fertilizer on Bermuda grass. Four fertilizer treatments were examined in the greenhouse. Plant biomass and chlorophyll meter measurements were determined. Results showed that high rate of bio-fertilizer, fast-release and slow-release fertilizers had better shoot and whole plant dry weight than other treatments after ten weeks of treatment. The proportions of whole plant dry weight partitioned to shoots exceed that partitioned to roots for fertilizer treatments. Additionally, root/shoot ratio increased with the increasing levels of bio-fertilizer and fertilizer treatment. The study also found that 50 ml of bio-fertilizer appreciation achieved significantly greater than other treatments but lower dose was that effective. The results also indicated that shoot dry weight (R2 = 0.7213) and whole plant dry weight (R2 = 0.6213) was closely linked to shoot Shalini Pereira Design Associates (SPDA), but was not significantly correlated to root dry weight (R2 = 0.2181).
Key words: Bermuda grass, bio-fertilizers, dry weight, chlorophyll, Shalini Pereira Design Associates (SPDA).
