Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to examine the 7 treatments along with control to study about their effects on the growth and yield attributing traits of groundnut. The experiment was conducted at Field Experimentation Center, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Allahabad during Kharif, 2015 in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. Analysis of variance showed highly significant differences from the control plot were studied. Available biocontrol agents were evaluated either alone or in combinations for finding out their efficacy in suppressing the damages by insect-pest and promoting nutrient uptake, plant growth, yield and quality of groundnut under field condition. Treatment containing combination of T. viride + P. fluorescence (1:1) reduced the insect-pest damage and promote the growth and yield significantly. Highest per plant yield was also recorded from the same combination and it was followed by combination of T. viride + T. harzianum (1:1), the individual application of T. viride, T. harzianum and P. fluorescence, Neem leaf extract and turmeric powder solution were gave best performance respectively in decreasing order. All of the treatments found were significantly increased the growth and yield attributing traits of groundnut under field condition as compared to control plot. These results emphasize the need for the use of bio-agents and botanicals for ensuring sustainable production, better growth and improved productivity of this important oil yielding plant.
