Abstract:
The field experiment has been conducted for one year to study the effect of different bioinoculants on growth attributes of Mango grafts. The combine effect of application of bioinoculants such as Azotobacter and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) in a potting mixture significantly shows improvement in growth components such as graft survival, number of leaves, number of shoot, height, girth and root length of the plants. The microbial population such as bacterial population and fungal population was significantly higher in combine treatments of bioinoculants which may be involved in increasing the growth attributes of the grafts. However the Actinomycetes population did not significantly influenced by different treatments. The treatments containing Trichoderma act as a biocontrol agent also did not significantly control the Anthracnose disease of the Mango grafts during the whole year.
