摘要：Field trials were conducted during the years 2009-2010, at a private farm in Puttaparthi, Anantapur District, India, to study the effect of biological agents as effective seed treatment substitutes over commonly used chemicals on ground nut plants, Arachis hypogea . The biological agents (BA) tested for this purpose involved, BGA, Azotobacter and Azospirillum . Seeds were treated prior to sowing with each of these 3 agents both individually and in combination. Commonly used chemical for seed treatment, was used as the control. The treated seeds were sown on the soil combination, 3:1 FYM: NPK. BGA proved to be the best among the 3 biological agents. The effect of Azotobacter was marginal when used alone. However, the same was augmented in the presence of BGA. Azospirillum seemed to have a negative effect on growth and yield, when applied alone and in combination with BGA.
