Nursery trial was conducted at Horticulture Research and Extension Centre, Sirsi (UHS, Bagalkot), Uttara Kannada district during October 2016 to June 2017 to assess the Effect of fortified nursery media with bioagents in production of black pepper rooted cuttings. The trial was laid out in factorial randomized block design replicated thrice with two factors viz., media (fortified nursery media enriched with Trichoderma + VAM), control (nursery media i.e., with soil and FYM in 1:1 without enrichment) and variety (ten varieties of black pepper viz., IISR- Shakti, IISR-Thevam, Panniyur-1, Panniyur-5, Ademane pepper, Shubhakara, Kurimalai, Karimalligesara, Vadakkan and Sigandini). Days to first sprouting (4 days), days to fifty per cent sprouting (18.33 days) were higher in the variety Panniyur-1 raised in fortified nursery media. First leaf emergence (18.33 days), number of roots per cutting (37.33) and fresh weight of roots (139 mg/cutting) were higher in the variety IISR-Thevam raised in fortified nursery media.
