Effects of Phosphorus with Biofertilizers on Yield and Nutrient Content of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under Central Uttar Pradesh Condition

Year: 2021

Type: article

Abstract: The present study which was conducted on the research farms of CSAUA&T, Kanpur (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2016. In the treatments a general combination of phosphatic fertilizer at its various levels (0, 30, 60, and 90 kg ha-1) with Rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) was done. The statistical analysis was done using Factorial RBD. The variety of chickpea used was ‘Awarodhi’ which was considered as good responsive crop under central UP region. It was observed that the highest yield was there in T7 (P30+Rh+PSB) 26.2 q ha-1 and minimum was there in control. The nitrogen content observed was 3.70% and protein content 23.18% in the grain, which surged through significantly than control. The phosphorus content 0.66% of the chickpea grains was also higher than the initial values. Overall response was best under the treatment having combined application of both the biofertilizers (Rhizobium and PSM) and phosphorus @ 30 kg ha-1.
