Abstract

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a premier oil seed crop in India occupying 45 per cent of total oil seed production. Though India leads both in area and production of groundnut, the country ranks eight in productivity due to fertilizer management and erratic response of the crop in terms of yield. Innovative agriculture is an immediate need of today’s world that has increased tremendously in its population. Hence, we need to increase the agricultural produce substantially with the help of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. A pot experiment was undertaken under botanical garden in Annamalai university, with three bacterial strains (Rhizobium sp.), (Pseudomonas sp.) and (Bacillus sp.), applied in our experiment.  The treatment involving consortium inoculation with Rhizobium + Pseudomonas + Bacillus recorded highest values of Mg, Zn and Cu can improve nutrient uptake with a shoot portion of groundnut when compared to the root portion.
