Abstract
The present study entitled was conducted with an aim to find out the efficacy of endophytes and their Microbial Consortium (MC) on per cent germination of rice seeds and effect on vigour index of rice seedlings. The parameters for vigour index were recorded on 7th, 14th and 21st days after germination. Rice seeds of CAU-R1 variety was used for determining the plant growth promoting (PGP) activity of the endophytes alone and in consortium under In vitro. It was found that Microbial Consortium (MC) of endophytes showed more effectiveness than the individual endophytes on Per cent seed germination (98.33%) and vigour index after 7(778), 14(2134.50) and 21(2541.42) days of seed germination.
