The findings showed that application of 1L of Indigenous Microorganism Extended Solution (IMO-ES) every four weeks in Basmati rice has significantly improved the plant height, productive tiller that results to higher panicle and also improved the yield components such as number of filled grains per panicle and harvest yield per hectare. Application of IMO-ES once a month in rice plant to supply nutrients for growth and yield showed significant interaction indicating appropriate frequency application of IMO-ES is needed. The presence of Bacillus pumilus, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria in the solution enhance pest and disease resistance for better growth and development of Basmati rice.
