Effect of Bio-Fertilizers on Growth and Biomass of Coleus Vettiveroides

Abstract

Coleus vettiveroides commonly known as Hrivera is a perennial herb belonging to family lamiaceae grown on sandy loams along river banks in plains. A pot experiment was conducted to optimize nutrient requirement through organic sources for optimum plant and root growth. The experiments were conducted at Hullikatte village of Tumkur district. Results found that the higher plant growth and biomass accumulation were found to be significant with the application of FYM along with bio fertilizer as compared with sole application of FYM or inorganic fertilizer.
