Organic vegetable cultivation is a present day need not only to meet the demand of export oriented produce and to reduce cost of cultivation but also to protect the environment. In the present investigation four widely studied PGPMs viz., Azotobacter sp. (UBAZ-1), phosphate solubilising bacteria (UBPS-9), Trichoderma sp. (UBT-18) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (VPf-1) were evaluated for their ability either individually or in consortia to induce the physical and biochemical fitness of the bell pepper (Capsicum annum) transplants. Uptake of nitrogen and phosporus in mature plants and available nitrogen in the soil at harvesting stage were also found significantly higher when grown with microbial consortia. | Improving seedling health of bell pepper Capsicum annum L. by plant growth promoting microorganisms
