Results indicated that all the treatment showed significant response over control. Maximum plant height at 120 days (157.7 cm), tillersplant -1 at 90 days (6.4), length of spike (38.7 cm), test weight (28.6 g), grain yield (34.9 q ha -1 ), straw yield (82.8 q ha -1 ) were recorded with T 2 -NPK (80:40:40 kg ha -1 ) which was significantly higher than all the treatments except T 3 -½ NPK (40:20:20 kg ha -1 ) + FYM (10 t ha -1 ) and T 4 -½ NPK + FYM (10 t ha -1 ) + Trichoderma, followed by treatment T 6 -½ NPK + FYM (10 t ha -1 ) + Trichoderma + PSB showing the value of plant height at 120 days (154.8 cm), tillers/plant at 90 days (6.3), length of spike (37.6 cm), test weight (28.3 g), grain yield (33.1 q ha -1 ) and straw yield (81.1 q ha -1 ). Seed treatment with PSB (T 5 ) also responded significantly over control in all the parameters and remained at par with T 2 and T 6 . However, combined seed treatment with PSB + Trichoderma (T 6 ) was much effective in comparison to single inoculation of Trichoderma or PSB.
