Effect of co-inoculation of antagonists and beneficial microorganisms on growth and yield of groundnut under greenhouse conditions

Krishna Naik L, Raghunandan BL,Shivaprakash MK

Under glasshouse conditions growth parameters viz., plant height, number of branches per plant and number of compound leaves per stem and yield parameters viz., number of pods per plant, pod yield, shelling percentage, kernel yield and oil content were found maximum in pathogens uninoculated treatments receiving single biocontrol agent followed by other treatments which received two biocontrol agents with beneficial microorganisms and pathogens. The combined inoculation of fungal and bacterial biocontrol agents enhanced the growth parameters significantly compared to inoculation of single biocontrol agent. In general performance of fungal biocontrol agents was better compared to bacterial biocontrol agents in increasing the growth and yield parameters of groundnut.
