Main Data :
The experiment was conducted to study the effect of inoculation with Azotobacter and Azospirillum on growth, yield and quality of banana (cv. Giant), grown with different rates of N. Inoculation of sucker with Azospirillum twice (sucker + soil inoculation) resulted in maximum plant height and leaf size in plants receiving 50% of the recommended N dose. Inoculation of Azospirillum did not reduce the time required for shooting from planting. Azospirillum-inoculated plants produced a high number of hands/bunch, and the number of hands/bunch obtained was at par with double inoculation. Inoculation with Azospirillum produced highest yield of banana (69.15 t/ha). A fairly high T.S.S. and reducing sugar content were recorded in Azotobacter-inoculated plants. However, the effect of biofertilizer on total sugar and acidity content of fruits was not consistent.
