The use of synthetic fertilizer is being discouraged. Now a day’s synthetic fertilizers are replaced by biofertilizers. In order to evaluate the efficacy of microbial inoculants combined with inorganic fertilizers in improving the performance of plant growth and yield of capsicum annum and soil were inoculated with single inoculation, dual and triple inoculation along with inorganic fertilizers. The data was collected in biomass of shoots and yield was collected after every harvest between 30 days interval. Triple inoculation with synthetic fertilizer of NPK100% caused a maximum improvement of growth and yield, while dual and double inoculation with various combinations of inorganic fertilizers comparatively showed inferior. However, the extent of improvement varied with the inoculants. The nitrogen and phosphorus contents in the shoots of plants raised from single, double or triple inoculations were higher than plants raised from untreated (control) plants. The present findings showed that combination of microbial inoculants seems to promote the performance of chillies for higher yield.
