Abstract

In order to study the effect of seed inoculation with Glomus intraradices, Paenibacillus and Methylobacterium on germination in Maize, a laboratory experiment was conducted in Department of Agrl.Microbiology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in completely randomized design with three replicates. The experiment was conducted by treating the seed with both the culture of bacteria and the spore of Glomus intraradices(AM) by using lignite as the carrier substrate and gum arabica as the adhesive .The result revealed that, the highest germination percent of 97% was noticed in the treatment of the combined inoculation of AM, Paenibacillus and Methylobacterium aminovorans. The germination percent in the un-inoculated control was 85.56% and in the treatment with AM (Glomus intraradices) alone was 87.9%. There also observed a significant increase in the shoot length, root length and vigour index of the maize seedling. The highest vigour index of 4111.95 was reported in the treatment with the inoculation of AM, Paenibacillus and Methylobacterium aminovorans. This treatment also showed a percent increase of 78.64 in case of vigour index over control.
KEY WORDS: Glomus intraradices, , Methylobacterium, Gum arabica, Vigour index.
