Abstract: An experiment was conducted to assess the the growth performance of the Sivan (Gmelina arborea Roxb.) seedlings in response to various biofertilizers application, which was laid in CRD consisting twelve treatments (T1 to T12) of four biofertilizers AM, PSB, Azospirillum and Banana Pseudostem Sap (Novel) in sole and combinations along with control. The results revealed that biofertilizers application significantly influence the growth parameters, total biomass and quality of seedlings. Among all treatments, biofertilizers combination AM + PSB + Banana Pseudostem Sap reflected maximum seedling height (156.52 cm), collar diameter (13.20 mm), number of leaves per plant (24.67), leaf area per plant (3708.93 cm2), root length (30 cm) and number of roots per plant (21.67), fresh and dry biomass of leaves shoot, shoot and whole plant after seven months of observations indicating greater quality and vigour of seedlings for better field establishment.
