Abstract:
Seed bio-priming can be a preferred method of delivering the potential Trichoderma mutants to different crops and can be one of the successful strategy to scale up the microbial products at regional to global levels. Growth promoting response in chickpea (Indira Chana-1) following seed bio-priming with BARC mutant showed increased value on different growth promoting parameters over control. Plant height (16.33%, 29.09%), No. of branches (37.06, 33, 52%), No. of Plants per sq. m. (34.43%, 39.34%) and No. of pods (23.45%, 32.40%) in year 2018 and 2019 respectively.
