Abstract

An agronomic investigation to study the response of Biofertilizers and Phosphorus in chickpea crop. Experiment was conducted during Rabi season of year 2023 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy. The treatments consisted of three levels of Biofertilizers (PSB- 20, Rhizobium-20, and Rhizobium+PSB-20g/kg seed) and 3 levels of Phosphorus (30,45,60 kg/ha) along with RDF control (20-40-20 kg N-P-K/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Application of Phosphorus 60 kg/ha+ Rhizobium 20g/kg seed + PSB 20g/kg seed (Treatment 9) was recorded highest growth attribute (plant height, maximum plant dry weight, no. of nodules, CGR and RGR) and yield attribute (pods per plant, seeds per pod and test weight) along with produced higher seed yield (20.71 kg/ha), straw yield (4147.13 kg/ha) and harvest index (28.98%).
