Seed bio-priming with bio agents is one of the new strategy for management of the crop. Present study revealed that seed bio-priming with Pseudomonas fluorescence enhanced Seed bio priming with Pseudomonas fluorescens significantly increase in effective tillers (177 and 183), panicle length (18.56 and 19.11cm), number of grains panicle^-1 (144 and 163) and grain yield (3.70 and 4.23 t ha^-1) was observed in crop harvesting stage during both the years of experiments and lowest yield attributing characters and yield was found under farmers practices.
