Comparative Efficacy of Cocultured Inoculants (Azophosmet) Over Individual Inoculants of Cotton Under In Vitro and In Vivo Conditions

The effect of cocultured inoculant (Azophosmet) was studied under in vitro and in vivo conditions compared with other individual inoculants was investigated. The cotton seeds were treated with the Azophosmet, revealed the surviving ability of Azospirillum Sp7, PSB PB1 and PPFM CO 47 noticed up to 24 h on the seeds. Inoculation of cocultured inoculants recorded the maximum increase in ischolar_main length; shoot length, germination per cent and vigour index of cotton plants followed by CO 47 under in vitro conditions. Cocultured inoculants (Azophosmet) was effective in enhancing rhizosphere population of individual bioinoculants, plant growth and seed cotton yield under pot culture conditions.
