“…Thamizh Vendan and Thangaraju (2007) inoculated the tomato seeds with liquid formulation of Azospirillum which enhanced the plant height, biomass, nitrogen uptake of plants, available nitrogen content of soil and yield of tomato. Kavitha (2011) reported that rice ADT 43 seeds bioprimed with liquid Azospirillum 20% for 12h expressed high values for speed of germination and vigour based on dry matter production accounted for 32 and 7 per cent increase over nonprimed seed.…”
