ABSTRACT
Biofertilizers are living microbial inoculants, environment friendly, and the best alternatives for today’s agronomy. Chemical fertilizers containing nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous are though vital micronutrients for plants growth, they causes severe health hazards. The use of bio fertilizers in agriculture improves the quality and fertility of the soil. Present study deals with the comparative applications of chemical fertilizers with biofertilizers on the morphological properties of Vigna radiata (L.). The seeds of Vigna radiata (L.) treated with Azotobacter and Rhizobium biofertilizers separately and in combination with both organisms along with chemical fertilizer urea (T1-T7) were studied and data obtained revealed that seeds coated with biofertilizers showed a significant increase in the morphological properties of plants as compared to seeds coated with chemical fertilizer and control seeds.
