Abstract

The tomato want to seeds were shown to the different pots containing different concentration of the compost and Phosphobacteria sterilized soil without application of compost or Phosphobacteria are maintained as control.When the sampling were 45 days old the morphometric parameters, above and below ground biomass, biomolecules were analyzed to find the effect of application of compost and Phosphobacteria on the growth of the plant. In this context the present study aims to increase the vegetable crops production with the application of Bio fertilizer and compost application to avoid chemical pollution. The next phase of the study the soil were sterilized completely with stream sterilization, compost and Phosphobacteria were mixed with different concentration to compare the effect of compost and Phosphobacteria on the growth and development of plants.
