ABSTRACT
Sustainable Agriculture has become a serious issue due to energy crisis and environment issues. Therefore, the agricultural production is aimed to make maximum output with minimum input. During agricultural production it is necessary to use organic fertilizers rather than chemical fertilizers. For this reason, Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza and Phosphorous Solubilizing Bacteria are important because they help in nutrient acquisition by plants especially P and Zn. The present study focus on the treatment of selected host plants viz. (Tomato, Brinjal and Cucumber) with nine combinations of VAM and PSB along with control. Various biochemical parameters like reducing and non-reducing sugar, Ascorbic acid, Amino acid, Phosphorous, Chlorophyll content, Phenol, Starch etc. was studied of the treated plants and compared with control. The performance of these inoculants was evaluated individually and in combination with one another for screening the best microbial inoculants. Different treatments were given and results were obtained after 30, 60 and 90 days of inoculation of these selected biochemical parameters in three different host plants. A significant increase was observed on the yield of these three treated plants in terms of all the biochemical parameters as compared to control.
