Two strains of bacteria were isolated from the local niche of kumbhalmer (NG) by the enrichment of medium. Both were identified as Azatobactor and Rhizobium. Both bacteria were grown in large scale in their selective medium. Bacteria were applied to the seeds by the seed inoculation techniques. Four crops were selected like Tuvar, Chana, Mustard, and Methi. Physiological character like number of leaves, shoot length, root length, dry weight and fresh weight of shoots and roots, were measured in one-week interval up to six weeks. Seeds inoculated with Azotobactor were comparatively more vigorous and healthy, than controlled and seeds inoculated with Rhizobium. Isolated strains production.
