Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season (2021) at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly natural in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.28%), available N (225 kg/ha), available P (19.50 kg/ha) and available K (213.7 kg/ha). The Treatments consisted of 3 levels of GA3(40 ppm, 50 ppm and 60 ppm) and Bio fertilizers (Rhizobium, PSB and VAM). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments and replicated thrice. The results reported that significantly maximum plant height em), dry weight (8.38 g/plant) and a greater number of nodules (6.70) were found higher with application of treatment GA3 at 60ppm + Rhizobium 20gm!Kg of seeds. Whereas, maximum No. pods/plant (91.00), seeds/pod (2.00), test weight (24.64 g), grain yield (1853.47 kg/ha) and stover yield (2880.53 kg/ha) were recorded in (treatment-7) that is GA3 at 60ppm + Rhizobium 20gm/Kg of seeds, then all other treatments.
