Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to assess the “Effect of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria on growth, yield and quality of shankapushpi (<em>Clitoreaternatea </em>L<em>.</em>)” under rainfed condition at College of Horticulture, UHS campus, GKVK Post, Bengaluru during 2016-2017. The experiments were comprised of ten treatments and were replicated thrice in RCBD. The maximum plant height (13.50,24.08, 46.25 and 60.07 cm at 30,60,90 DAS and harvest, respectively),number of branches (4.55, 6.45, 8.35 and 10.37 at 30,60,90 DAS and at harvest, respectively) and early germination (6.33)were recorded with seed treatment of <em>Bradyrhizobium japonicum +Pseudomonas fluorescence</em> with theapplication of full dose of RDF and The maximum number of pods per plant(46.43), length of pod (9.76 cm), test weight(4.11g), seed yield(13.53 Qha^-1) and crude protein content(7.47 %) were obtained with same treatment combination.
