In present investigation, comparison of the survival rate of Bacillus megaterium inoculated in bagasse ash and charcoal is done which is widely used as a carrier material. An Isolate SB1 was isolated from the soil. This isolated SB1 was subjected for a study of cultural, morphological, and biochemical characteristics. By comparing all the studied characteristics and with reference to Bergey’s manual of systematic bacteriology, Vol. II, an isolate SB1 was tentatively identified as Bacillus megaterium. Biomass of isolate SB1 i.e. Bacillus megaterium was obtained, the biomass was inoculated separately in charcoal and test material i.e. Bagasse Ash. This was stored as biofertilizer and the efficacy of test material for supporting the growth of inoculants was checked by carrying out a Total Viable Count (TVC) of inoculants after every seven days from the date of inoculation. This was compared with that of charcoal. This study proved the ability of Bagasse Ash to support the survival of inoculum i.e. Bacillus megaterium which is slightly inferior to charcoal.

Keywords: Bacillus megaterium, bagasse, ash, inoculants, TVC, biobased.
