Abstract	Albizia amara is an important medicinal plant commonly found in dry forests of India. It belongs to leguminaceae and its common name in telugu is Nallaregoo (or) Chigaraku. All of the plant parts i.e., roots, shoots, leaves, flowers, seeds and bark, were exclusively used in traditional medicine for curing different diseases like diarrhea, skin diseases gonorrhea, poisonous bites and leprosy. Due to its wide pharmacological activities and presence of several therapeutic constituents, Albizia amara has been selected for tissue culture studies in the present investigation. A systemic approach for increasing the survival rate of tissue culture raised A.amara plantlets using bioinoculants was explored . The studies reported that biohardening of tissue cultured plantlets with mixed inoculum of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Trichoderma viride enhanced plant survival rate (82 %). This microbial association helped in inducing systemic resistance in plants to overcome abiotic and biotic stress caused during acclimatization. The phytochemical studies of biohardened plants exhibited high antimicrobial activity due to the presence of more secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites probably due to their antagonistic properties gave protection against pathogenic attack during transplantation. Phytochemical analysis of different plant extracts like, ethyl acetate, chloroform, methanolic, and petroleum ether extracts were studied. The ethyl acetate extract of dual inoculant treated plants showed maximum antimicrobial activity. In bacteria, it showed maximum zone of inhibition on B.cereus (11.5±1.73), followed by E.coli (10±0.82 mm) . In fungi, it showed maximum inhibition on F.oxysporum (13.25±0.28mm) followed by C.albicans (8.5±0.17mm). The above strategy helped in overall improvement of morphological, physiological and phytochemical characteristics of tissue culture plantlets.
