Studies conducted with Bambusa bambos on evaluation of seed pelleting treatment for production of quality seedling revealed that seed pelleting with Azospirillum @ 50 g kg-1 has improved the germination (74%) of the seed both at laboratory and at nursery up to the evaluation period of three months. Same way all the seed and seedlings quality parameters showed superior performs with Azospirillum than others with control both at laboratory at nursery.
