A field experiment was carried out at farmers’ fields in village wadura (Sopore) of district Baramulla J&K during kharif 2013 and 2014 to study the effect of AZOPHOS and Inorganic fertilizers on growth and yield of Tomato cv. “SHALIMAR-1”. The treatments comprised of 3 levels of biofertilizers (control, PSB, VAM) in combination with 4 levels of inorganic fertilizers [0, 25, 50 and 100% recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) N and P] laid out in a randomized complete block design with each treatment replicated three times. Maximum plant height (207.86 cm), fruit yield (1.50 Kg plant-1), No. of Branches (11.18 plant-1) and Nitrogen in fruit (0.32 %) were recorded in treatment Azotobacter-3 + PSB (PS6) +100% NPK. The use of Azotobacter and PSB in combination with various inorganic levels of fertilizer over control increased the nitrogen content in fruit over control. Maximum nitrogen content (%) in fruit (0.32%) was observed in treatment combination of Azotobacter-3 + PSB (PS6) +100% NPK.
