Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at research farm, RARI, Durgapura during two consecutive kharif seasons 2018 and 2019 to study the Effect of different liquid biofertilizers and varying fertility levels on growth, yield and quality of cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub]. The experiment consists of twenty four treatment combinations consisting of three fertility levels (100% RDF, 75% RDF and 50% RDF) and eight liquid biofertilizers combination (control, Rhizobium, PSB, KMB, SSB, Rhizobium+PSB, Rhizobium+ PSB+ KMB and Rhizobium+ PSB+ KMB+ SSB), thereby making twenty four treatment combinations were replicated three times in randomized block design. Result showed that application of 100% NPKS proved significantly superior over 75% RDF and 50% RDF with respect to all quality parameters (gum content and protein content). Significantly higher gum content and protein content in seed were obtained in the combination of 100% NPKS with application of Rhizobium + PSB + KMB+SSB.
