A field experiment was carried out to study the bio-efficacy of endomycorrhiza and Lipochitooligosaccarides as seed treatment on chickpea at Agriculture Research Station, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Achalpur, Dist. Amravati, Mahrashtra during Rabi season of the year 2019-20. A set of eight treatments consist of seed treatment kg-1 of seed as control (untreated), recommended (Rhizobium -25 g + PSB-25g + Trichoderma- 04 g), endomycorriza (MycoMix-1g), endomycorriza (MycoMix-2g), endomycorriza (MycoMix-4g), endomycorrhiza and lipochitooligosaccarides (MycoMix - 1g + MON90505- 0.33 ml), endomycorrhiza and lipochitooligosaccarides (MycoMix 2g + MON90505- 0.33 ml) and endomycorrhiza and lipochitooligosaccarides (MycoMix- 4g + MON90505- 0.33 ml) were taken under Randomized Block Design with four replication. The experimental results indicated that, among the various treatments, seed treatment with endomycorrhiza and lipochitooligosaccarides (MycoMix-4g + MON90505 - 0.33 ml) produced significantly higher number of pods plant-1 and grain yield of chickpea (2025kg/ha). It helps to increase soil microbial count, dehydrogenase and phosphate activity. However, the yield levels under seed treatment with endomycorrhiza and lipochitooligosaccarides (MycoMix-4g + MON90505- 0.33ml) were at par with recommended seed treatment (Rhizobium 25 g +PSB 25g + Trichoderma -04g). It is further revealed from the data that seed treatment with endomycorrhiza and lipochitooligosaccarides (Mycomix + MON90505) increased 14.84 to 23.17 %, grain yield of chickpea as compared to control and 2.27 to 9.66 % increase as compared to recommended seed treatment for chickpea (Rhizobium 25g + PSB25g + Trichoderma 04g).
