| Abstract:
A pot-culture trial was undertaken to study the effect of Azotobacter inoculant either alone or in combination with the plant growth regulators like GA and IAA on cashew. The combination of Azotobacter incoulant alone caused better growth of root system when compared to that due to growth regulators alone. Similarly, better shoot length was observed in treatment receiving Azotobacter inoculant alone. The population of Azotobacter in the rhizosphere was more in treatments receiving Azotobacter alone and Azotobacter plus GA indicating the establishment of Azotobacter in the rhizosphere upto 75 days of plant growth. | |
