Abstract:

In the present investigation three carriers, charcoal, mushroom compost, vermicompost were evaluated for the production of bioinoculants. The bacteria used for bioinoculants development was recommended Rhizobium spp. (M1). The Rhizobium strains were inoculated in all the three carriers singly and in combination with different carriers. The bacterial population was determined in each carrier up to 3 monthsof storage. The mushroom compost show the highest bacterial population and and bacterial population was uniform throughout the months of storage, whereas after 15 days of incubation the bacterial population in vermicompost was increased and decreased in the charcoal. Considering these results, the mushroom compost as carrier could increase the survival of bacteria and might be as a bioinoculants.
