Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of plant growth promoting fungus (PGPF) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench) was estimated. Germination study was conducted with Bhendi seeds treated in different PGPR and PGPF. The growth indices like vigour index, seedling growth, shoot length, root length, total leaf area, fresh weight and dry weight and yield parameters were taken into consideration for this experiment. All these morphological growth parameters gradually increased with PGPF and PGPR when compared to control. On the basis of germination study data, the best growth of bhendi seedling was recorded in PGPF followed by PGPR when compare with control.
