Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out at the Agronomy Instructional Farm, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Sardarkrushinagar during kharif 2019. The experiment consists of eight treatment combinations comprising of two nitrogen sources (urea and ammonium sulphate), two phosphorus sources (diammonium phosphate and single superphosphate) and two levels of biofertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB and no inoculation biofertilizer) were tried in randomized block design with factorial concepts with four replications. Application of nitrogen through ammonium sulphate recorded 6.47% and 7.07% higher seed and stover yield, respectively over urea. Between two phosphorus sources, single superphosphate produced 5.34% and 6.84% higher seed and stover yield, respectively over diammonium phosphate. Seed inoculation with biofertilizer (Rhizobium + PSB) gave 16.5% and 15.68% higher seed and stover yield, respectively as compared to no seed inoculation.
