Present investigation regarding the supplementation of chemical fertilizers with bio-fertilizers for coriander crop was carried out under field condition in Horticulture Research Farm, IGKV, Raipur (Chhattisgarh) during rabi season 2007-08. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. There were fifteen treatments comprising of different bio-fertilizers with inorganic fertilizers (NPK). Leaf area, leaf area index, essential oil content, seed yield per plant, seed yield per plot and seed yield per hectare are the important physiological and yield contributing characters taken under investigation. The results indicated that treatment T8 (100% K and 75% NP along with Azotobacter, Azospirillum and PSB) was significantly superior to the rest of the treatments and all characters taken under investigation 75% NP + 100% K + Azotobacter, Azospirillum and PSB was found economically best for both physiological and yield contributing characters.
