ABSTRACT
The experiment entitled “Effect of different propagating media and PGPRs on seed germination and seedling vigour of Rauvolfia tetraphylla" was conducted at College of Horticulture, UHS campus, Bengaluru during August 2015 to February 2016, with eight treatments in CRD design replicated for four times. The results showed that germination per cent (16.5), germination rate(0.29), seedling height (17.37 cm), girth (0.23 cm). seedling vigor (412.27), root length (6.5 cm) and total biomass were significantly higher in the plants raised in media having Red soil + sand + vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + Pseudomonas fluroscens and least was found in Red soil + sand + FYM. Hence, from the above experiment it is inferred that the plants raised in media having Red soil + sand + vermicompost + Rhizobium + PSB + Pseudomonas fluroscens were better compared to all other propogating media combinations.
Key words: Rauvolfia tetraphylla, Seedling vigor, Vermicompost, Rhizobium, PSB, Pseudomonas
