The replacement of mineral fertilizer in papaya crop with biofertilizer based on Glomus spp. and
Azospirillum spp., can to increase the productivity in this crop, moreover to improve soil conditions.
The aim of the study was to determine the quality of papayas seedling, variety "Red Maradol", obtained
with the use of Glomus intraradices and Azospirillum brasilense, as biofertilizers for production of
plants.The experiment was developed at greenhouse of High Study School of Xalostoc, Morelos. Was
used a completely randomized design, with eight treatment and five repetitions: G. intraradices along
(Gl), A. brasilense along (Az), Fertilizer 8-24-0 along (F), mixture of Gl, Az and fertilizer 8-24-0 (Gl+ Az +
F), mixture of Az and F (Az + F), mixture of Gl and F (Gl + F), mixture of Gl and Az (Gl + Az); and the
witness (T), without fertilization. These were applicated twice, on papaya seeds and in the sowing over
the seedling. Such effect was evaluated using the variables: plant height, stem diameter, radicular
volume, fresh total weight, dry total weight, foliage fresh weight, root fresh weight, as well as the
seedling quality index by the Dickson method. The results shown that the biofertilizer G. intraradices
and A. brasilense improved the nutrient uptake and stimulated the growth of papaya plants, when were
applied together and with mineral fertilizer (8:24:0). The applications of G. intraradices by separated, get
the best quality of the plantule, getting better radicular develop of it.

negative effects on the health of man and our environment,
besides the excess or deficiency of an element, can
increase the succulence of the crop, early maturation and
reduction in post-harvest . Agricultural systems should be
sustained by maintaining soil fertility and soil structure by
