Abstract

Application of rhizobium broth (5 ml/plant) and 100 g single superphosphate alone or in combination increased the plant growth (plant height, collar diameter, root length). Height of seedling of Dalbergia sissoo, after a period of one year increased by 251.06%, collar diameter by 131.70%, root length by 193.18%, shoot fresh weight by 118.61%, shoot dry weight by 124.48%, root fresh weight by 113.57% and root dry weight by 122.64% due to applications of 5 ml rhizobium broth (biofertilizer) and 100 g single superphosphate per plant as against control (B0 x P0).
