Field trial was conducted to study the response of pearlmillet to differnt loads of bioinoculants on vertisol for six years in dryland conditions. Dual inoculation of Azospirillum lipoferum and Azotobacter chroococcum at optimum load of inoculum i.c. 60 g/kg seed performed economically well in respect of plant height, 1000 grain weight, Nitrogen uptake besides grain and stover yields over their individual inoculaiton at recommended dose i.c. 30 g/kg seed. More cost benefit ratio and additional net income was recorded by 60 g/kg seed treatment as compared to recommended dose of bioinoculant.
