Short communication EFFECT OF GLOMUS MOSSEAE AND AZOSPIRILLUM LlPOfERUM INOCULATION ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF ONION (ALLIUM CEPA

Application of biofertilizers is known to increase the yield of various vegetable crops! ike tomato, brinjal and chillies etc. The eDle of veslcular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) in plant growth and nutrient uptake is well documented (Tinker, 1975). The ability of the Azospirillum tD proliferate in the rhizosphere of CeDI ' suggests its ability to improve the nutrient availability to the plants and can supplement the expensive inorganic and organic fertilizers. Keeping this in view, an experiment conducted was to find out effect of inoculation of VAM and Azospirillum under different levels of niteDgen on growth and yield of onion cv. B- 780. The field experiment was conducted durin
