(I) Morphological growth characteristics of T. asperellum, T. harzianum and T. asperellum + T. harzianum bioprimed and untreated chilli plants at different intervals of 30 and 60 days. Seeds bioprimed samples were found to have increased the root length, profuse growth and thickness. A Image showing the unprimed (control) plant after 30 and 60 days, B T. asperellum bioprimed seeds after 30 and 60 days, C T. harzianum bioprimed seeds after 30 and 60 days, D T. asperellum + T. harzianum bioprimed seeds after 30 and 60 days. (II) Bioprimed seeds with T. asperellum, T. harzianum and T. asperellum + T. harzianum showed their growth parameters, increased in height, number and size of leaves, branches, flowering buds, stem diameter of plants. A Unprimed (control) plants, B Seeds were primed T. asperellum, C Seeds were primed with T. harzianum, and D Seeds were primed with T. asperellum + T. harzianum. Scale bar represents 10 cm
