Abstract
Abstract Carrier based preparations of Azospirillum lipoferum (AZ 204) inoculant, developed using two different sourcesof biochar (acacia wood and coconut shell) were evaluated in comparison with lignite for their suitability as abest alternate to lignite for commercial biofertilizer production. The survival of the microbial inoculant wasestimated over a period of 180 days. Among the different carriers, coconut shell based biochar recorded amaximum population of log 10.79 cfu g –1 of carrier on 180 days after inoculation with a maximum moisturecontent of 25.22%. It was also found that seedling vigour index of green gram (CO 3 ) was paramount in responseto coconut shell based biochar. In addition, coconut shell based biochar was found to increase the survival of Azospirillum lipoferum upto 180 days (6 months) of storage period at a required population compared to acaciawood based biochar and lignite.
