A pot experiment entitled “Effect of individual and combined application of biofertilizers on morphological and biochemical constituents of (Arachis hypogeae L.)’’ was carried out at College of Vivekanandha College of Arts and Sciences for Women (Autonomous), Tiruchengode. The experiment comprising six treatments of nutrient management viz., T1: Control, T2: FYM, T3: Vermicompost, T4: Azospirillum, T5: Rhizobium, T6: FYM + Vermicompost + Azospirillum + Rhizobium, were evaluated in randomized block design with three replications. The experimental soil was clayey in texture, low in N, medium in available P, K and S. The groundnut seeds were tested in the experiment. The experimental results revealed that significantly higher values of growth parameters viz., germination studies, shoot and root length, fresh weight, dry weight, total leaf area and also biochemical analyses such as chlorophyll, protein, amino acid, reducing sugar and non-reducing sugar was observed in combined application of soil amendments (FYM + Vermi + Azospirillum + Rhizobium). Biofertilizers usage in crops not only saves the costly chemical fertilizers application to certain extent, but also help in obtaining quality produce through secretion of plant growth promoting hormones like IAA, GA and cytokinins.
