INTRODUCTION
Biofertilizers are applied as seed
coating , seedling root dip and
soil application method.
The recommended biofertilizer for tomato are Azotobacter in combination with PSB.
Mycorrhizal inoculation gives additional benefit for mobilizing nutrients and overcoming soil moisture stress.

SEED TREATMENTSEED TREATMENTKeep the seeds required for sowing one acre land in a heap on a clean-cemented floor or polyethelene sheet. Prepare culture suspension by mixing
one packet (200g) each of Azotobacter and PSB biofertilizer in approx . 800 ml WaterSprinkle culture suspension on the tomato seeds and mix.Spread the seeds under shade for sometime for drying and then sow.
In place of water, rice glue {Kanji} can also be used for better results.

Prepare the suspension by mixing l kg (5 packets) each of Azotobacter and PSB culture in 15-20 litres of water.
Get the tomato seedlings
required for one acre of land
Dip root portion of seedlings in the
suspension for 30 minutes and transfer to
the main field.
SOIL APPLICATION METHODSOIL APPLICATION METHOD
Mix 2 –3 kg each of the Azotobacter
and PSB culture packets with 100
kg of well decomposed cattle
manure/ compost for one acre of
land and sprinkle water to the
mixer.
Keep the mixer overnight for
curing.
Broadcast into soil at the time of
planting or at the time of irrigation.

Mycorrhizal Application in Tomato
1.Apply mycorrhizal culture in the tomato nursery @ 100 gm per sq.m. three centimeter below the soil .
2.For out planting, apply 20 gm mycorrhizal culture per seedling into the planting pit and cover with soil.
3.For existing plant, apply mycorrhizal culture @ 20 gm near the root zone along with other fertilizers.

LET US SUM UP
The mostly recommended biofertilizer for tomato are
Azotobacter in combination with PSB.
Two methods are broadly used for biofertilization viz.
seedling root dip and soil application method.
Mycorrhizal inoculation also gives additional benefit for
mobilizing nutrients and overcoming moisture stress.
Mycorrhizal biofertilizer is additional input for tomato
mainly as soil inoculum in nursery beds.
