Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are a wide range of root colonizing bacteria with the capacity to enhance plant growth by increasing seed emergence, producing lytic enzyme and bacteriocin. Soil or seed application of PGPR have been used to enhance growth of the several crops as well as to suppress the growth of the plant pathogens. The pot experiment was conducted during winter season to find out the effect of three plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) either singly or in combination on vegetative growth parameters of coriander seedling.

Safe disposal of the coal ashes is the major concern now. Looking to its potentiality, coal ash can be utilized in agriculture field crops for applications as an amendment of soil properties and nutrient supply. The properties of Fly ash (FA) and Pond ash (PA) indicated that these are having good water holding capacity and have more of sand and silt particles. The use of FA and Pond ash PA along with or without FYM in sunflower crop enhanced growth and yield parameters. The germination of seeds is also influenced greatly by these ashes.

Vermicompost is a nutrient-rich, microbiologically-active organic amendment that results from the interactions between earthworms and microorganisms during the breakdown of organic matter. It is a stabilized, finely divided peat-like material with a low C:N ratio, high porosity and high water-holding capacity, in which most nutrients are present in forms that are readily taken up by plants.
