The present field experiment was carried out of basal and foliar nutrient management of C. cajan. The treatments were evaluated for experiment was survival of lac insects as it is crucial for lac production. Among the treatments Rhizobium, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria, Mycorrhiza and Humic Acid (Soil + Foliar application) was found the best with Mycorrhiza 56.51% percent.
