Influence of EM Bokashi, on nodulation, physiological characters and yield of peanut in nature farming fields
2002
Yan, P.S. | Xu, H.L.
Effects of EM bokashi organic fertilizer on nodulation, physiological properties and yield of peanut plants were investigated in a nature-farming field. Compared to chemical fertilizer, EM bokashi fertilizer significantly increased both the nodule numbers per plant and fresh weight per nodule. The peanut plants fertilized with EM bokashi fertilizer also showed higher photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and mesophyll conductance. Therefore, the vegetative and reproductive growth of peanut plant in EM bokashi treatment was promoted significantly. The shoot and root dry weights in EM bokashi treatment were significantly higher than those in chemical treatment. The total pod number and pod dry weight in EM bokashi fertilizer treatment were significantly higher than those in chemical fertilizer treatment. These results suggested that EM bokashi is an effective organic fertilizer in nature farming crop production.
