Field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2014-15 on farmers field to study the effect of different microbial cultures on nutrient uptake and quality of groundnut. The results emerged out indicated that significant increase in nutrient content and uptake after harvest of crop was found highest with RDF + Rhizobium + Pseudomonas striata. However, P content was recorded highest with RDF + Rhizobium + Bacillus megaterium. Quality parameters such as test weight, protein and oil content were also improved with the inoculation of RDF + Rhizobium + Pseudomonas striata over only RDF + Rhizobium.
