This experiment was conducted in pots, containing unsterilized soil under rain out shelter using rice variety IR-64. The rice seed were treated (bio-primed @ 10g/ Kg seed) with powder formulation of selected T. harzianum strains viz., IRRI-1, IRRI-2, IRRI-3, IRRI-4, IRRI-5, IRRI-6, TH-3, SVP-1 and SVP-3 before 24 hrs of sowing. Root and shoot development were measured at 21 days after seed sowing in the rice crop season 2012 and 2013 by uprooting the rice plants. T. harzianum strains IRRI-6, IRRI-1 and IRRI-3 were found to support maximum root and shoot length in the rice plants, obtained from the seed treated with these strains. Remaining strains of T. harzianum i.e. IRRI-4, IRRI-2, SVP-1 IRRI-5 and SVP-3 were also able to support the enhancement of root and shoot length of rice plants at quite higher level, but comparatively little less than IRRI-6, IRRI-1 and IRRI-3.
