Bio-fertilizers are a suitable supplement to chemical fertilizers to meet the integrated nutrient demand of the crops. In the present study, the vegetable crop namely Solanum lycopersicum L. was taken and growth studies was carried out on the 30th, 45th and 60th day of growth. The growth parameters showed a higher growth rate on 30th day in terms of root length, shoot length, number of leaves, fresh weight and dry weight when the combination of bio-fertilizers were used. On the 45th day, the root length, shoot length, fresh weight and dry weight was higher in plants treated with the combination of fertilizers. The number of leaves was higher in VAM treated plants. On the 60th day, the fresh weight and dry weight was found to be higher in Phosphobacteria treated plants. There was significant increase in growth parameters when the plants were treated with bio-fertilizers rather than the control plant.
