Abstract: Experiment was conducted in vivo to study the plant growth promoting activities of strains of Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma viride used as seed treatment@ 10 g /kg seed in groundnut. Various observations of growth parameters and yield components i.e. plant height (cm), no. of branches, no. of pods / plant, unfilled pods/ plant, filled pods/plant and pod yield/ plant (g) were recorded maximum in Trichoderma strains T2 respectively, followed by T3, T4 and minimum unfilled pod was recorded in strain T4(18) superior over control.
Keywords: Groundnut, Trichoderma harzianum, Trichoderma viride growth parameters, Yield components, Seed
