Abstract:
A field study was carried out at Instructional Farm Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during Rabi season 2017-2018 to evaluate effect of different bio-fertilizers on growth, yield attributes and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The experiment was comprised with eight treatments (T1) Control + RDF 100%, (T2) Azotobacter, (T3) Rhizobium, (T4) Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB), (T5) Rhizobium + PSB, (T6) Rhizobium + Azotobacter, (T7) Azotobacter + PSB, (T8) Rhizobium + PSB + Azotobacter. The result revealed that among all the treatments, Rhizobium + PSB + Azotobacter (T8) treatment recorded maximum growth attributes, yield and yield attributes which is closely followed by T5 (Rhizobium + PSB). Application of Rhizobium + PSB+ Azotobacter also exhibited maximum values of gross return, net returns and benefit cost ratio.
