Abstract: The influence of biofertilizer inoculation,Pseudomonasfluorescens alone and recommended dose of organic solution on brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) crop was tested during the kharif season of the year 2019 at agricultural field Patanjali Bio-Research Centre, Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The results revealed significant improvement in growth characters such as height of plant, stem diameter, length of root, number of functional leaves, weight of fresh shoot and weight of dry shoot over the control. Similarly, number of fruits picked per plant and yield of fruits was more in inoculated crop.Itisoneofthemost popular and commercial crops grown in India and other parts of the world and rightly called as vegetable of masses. The common large-fruited forms are believed to have originated in Indo-Burma region. Fruits are moderate sources of vitamins and medicinal properties including de-collateralizing action.
