The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomize block design with four fertility levels (% RDF) viz., 100 (inorganic), 100 (vermicompost), 75 (inorganic) + 25 (vermicompost), 50 (inorganic) + 50 (vermicompost) and four liquid bio-fertilizers viz., control, Azotobacter, PSB and Azotobacter + PSB, replicated three times. The experimental results showed that application of 75 (inorganic) + 25 (vermicompost) recorded significantly higher values of growth characters viz., plant height (97.78 cm) and dry matter accumulation (26.24 g plant-1) at harvest in barley which was superior to lower fertility levels and was at par with 100 (inorganic). Among the liquid bio-fertilizers, application of Azotobacter + PSB recorded significantly higher values of plant height (96.16cm) and dry matter accumulation (26.78 g plant-1) at harvest which was found superior over control and PSB but statistically at par with Azotobacter. The results indicated that application of 75 (inorganic) + 25 (vermicompost) in combination with Azotobacter + PSB had a positive effect on the growth of barley.</jats:p>}, number={4}, journal={International Journal of Environment, Agriculture and Biotechnology}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Gadhwal, Khushvinder Singh and Nagar, K.
