In present investigation, the effect of Azotobacter, PSB and KMB consortium on the growth and yield of tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa L.) cv. Phule Rajani was tested with graded levels of recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) during kharif, 2019-20 at NARP, Ganeshkhind, Pune. The results revealed that the consortium of Azotobacter, PSB and KMB + 100% RDF was found to be the most effective for number of days for spike emergence (88.00 days), number of days for basal floret opening (98.60 days), highest number of florets per spike (50.70), maximum length of florets (6.17 cm), maximum fresh weight of 100 florets (91.27 g), maximum spread of florets (5.07 cm), number of spikes per plant (7.77), number of bulbs produced per plant (8.87), loose flower yield (6.77 t ha-1) and bulb yield (13.83 t ha-1). This treatment was at par with inoculation treatment Azotobacter, PSB and KMB consortium + 75% RDF for the foresaid growth, durational and yield parameters.
