“…The legume-rhizobium seed inoculation has been known long back due to its role in symbiotic nitrogen fixation in the root nodules and Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) forms a symbiotic relationship with plant roots and has long been recognised as having an impact on several plant characteristics, phosphorous uptake and mobilization, improves soil structure and reduces the negative effects of various biotic and abiotic stresses (Vessey, 2003;Manoharachary et al, 2009;Riaz et al, 2023). The positive influence of microbes on co-inoculation of Rhizobium sp.…”

Background: This study assessed the effect of different sticking agents viz., gum arabic, guar gum and xanthan gum for coating Rhizobium sp. and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on seed germination and vigour of blackgram seeds. Methods: The surface sterilised seeds were first coated with different sticking agents as per the following treatments, T0 - Dry seed, T1 - Water, T2 - Gum arabic 20% w/v, T3 - Guar gum 0.5% w/v, T4 - Xanthan gum 0.3% w/v followed by coating with Rhizobium sp. and AMF liquid cultures. Result: Among the different sticking agents, gum arabic (20%) when used as a sticker for coating Rhizobium sp. and AMF, increased the seed germination (95%) and vigour index (21.85) of blackgram compared to the control. The efficacy of inoculation depended on the survival of inoculants on seeds. On using sticking agents, the survival of microbes could be extended up to 48 h of treatment and 87 per cent AMF colonization with gum arabic (20%) as deduced from the viability studies.
