Abstract: The present study was undertaken to compare the effect of inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers with different sizes of root trainer on the growth parameters, biomass and survival rate in Dalbergia latifolia. The four sizes of root trainers and 37 potting mixtures (treatment) along with control were tried. The study was conducted in green house of the institute. In each treatment 30 seedlings were prepared with 3 replicates in each root trainer cell size. At the end of 12 months of experiment 03 seedlings were selected randomly from each replicates of each treatment for measurement of growth parameters and biomass studies. The result indicates that the highest growth performance of Dalbergia latifolia was found in 400 CC root trainer size along with treatment T19 (Soil, sand and FYM with 1: 1: 1 ratio and 20 gm VAM). The VAM biofertilizer was found the most efficient in improving the seedling growth, root fiberocity, stem collar diameter, biomass and survival percentage of seedlings. VAM application helps in the growth of plants and increasing productivity by nitrogen fixation, phosphorous utilization, preventing attack of roo pathogen and enhancement of tolerance to moisture stress condition in the plants in the most natural way, which has resulted in increasing the growth of seedlings.
