## Abstract
This study aims to study the effectiveness of Azotobacter chroococcum bacteria and Arbuscula mycorrhiza on some physiological characteristics and growth of cocoa seedlings. The study was conducted from March to October 2015, designed in the form of a two factors experiment based on the Randomized Block Design in a screen house. Inoculation of A chroococcum as the first factor consisted of control, inoculation of 104 CFU ml-1 water and 106 CFU ml-1 water per tree given as much as 40 ml. Inoculation of arbuscula mycorrhiza as a second factor consisted of control, inoculation of 3.0 g, 6.0 g and 9.0 g per tree, respectively. The experimental results show that inoculation of Azotobacter chroococcum 106 CFU ml-1 water tree-1 and the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi 6.0 g tree-1 resulted in higher chlorophyll a, b and total leaf chlorophyll content, increased light absorption rate, leaf stomatal conductance and better seedling growth.
