In Pulses particularly in blackgram and greengram seed treatment, Imidacloprid is one of the important component used for the control of viral diseases particularly Yellow Mosaic disease, in addition, biofertilizers viz., Rhizobium and phosphobacteria also necessarily used to promote nodulation and nitrogen fixation. These field recommendations should be well supported by in vitro assays and testing the compatibility of the pesticides with the biofertilizers and biopesticides used for seed treatment. To confirm the compatibility an in vitro study was conducted on the effect of Imidacloprid dosage on the growth and multiplication using YEMA broth and the growth rate was enumerated in Spectrophotometer. Imidacloprid did not prevent the growth of Rhizobium in the growth media rather Imidacloprid showed a retarded effect towards Rhizobium hence, the growth of Rhizobium was initially set back and registered very slow growth rate upto 1½ days after that it attained normal growth and reached its log phase.
