abstract
The field experiment has been conducted for three years to study the combine effect of free living nitrogen fixers such as Beijerinckia indica and phosphate solubilizers such Burkholderia territorii on growth attributes of Cashew grafts. These biofertilizers mixed in a potting mixture significantly shows higher improvement in growth components such as graft survival, number of leaves, number of shoot, height, girth and root length of the cashew grafts. The bacterial population was significantly higher in combine treatments of bioinoculants and also shows positive correlation with total nitrogen, total Phosphorous and growth attributes of the Cashew graft.
