Abstract : Bioinoculants are the environmental friendly microorganisms involved in growth and development of Chillies. Growth is measured in terms of increase in biomass and leaf area contributing for maximum dry matter accumulation and crop yield of chillies. The leaf improvement directly increases the leaf area index, leaf area duration, specific leaf weight and biomass in terms of crop growth rate of chillies. NovoBac seed treatment @ 2g/kg + soil drenching @ 500g/ha improved the growth attributes of chillies which are physiologically important predictors for improving the yield of chillies. Bioinoculants helps in improving the nutrient uptake of the chillies, thus involving the improvement in leaf area and volume of biomass of chillies.
