Abstract: An experiment was carried out for quality seedling production in nursery experiment at three levels of INM combinations viz., N, P₂O₅ and K₂O (2.0, 1.25, 1.25; 1.5, 0.938, 0.938; 1.0, 0.625, 0.625 g kg^-2 of soil) applied as urea, Single Super Phosphate and Muriate of Potash along with FYM (500 g) and biofertilizers viz., VAM, Azospirillum each @ 40, 20 g kg^-2 of soil respectively were evaluated with unfertilized control. The results revealed that integration of 1.5 g N, 0.938 g of P₂O₅ and 0.938 g of K₂O kg^-2 of soil supplemented with FYM (500 g), VAM (40 g) and Azospirillum (20 g) significantly enhanced the growth parameters viz., shoot length and number of leaves, root length and collar diameter, dry matter, volume index and quality index of D. strictus seedlings over control.
