Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2021-22 at the research farm, Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab to evaluate the effect of inorganic, organic and different bio-fertilizers on the growth and yield of desi gram (Cicer arietinum L.) under irrigated condition. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments; T1 (control: 100% RDF), T2 (50% RDF + FYM, T3 (50% RDF + FYM + Rhizobium), T4 (50% RDF + FYM + VAM), T5 (50% RDF + Vermicompost), T6 (50% RDF + Vermicompost + Rhizobium), T7 (50% RDF + Vermicompost + VAM), T8 (50% RDF + FYM + PSB), T9 (RDF + Vermicompost + PSB). The result revealed that among all the treatments, T6 (50% RDF + Vermicompost + Rhizobium) recorded higher growth attributes and yield which is statistically at par with T7 (50% RDF + Vermicompost + VAM) and T9 (RDF + Vermicompost + PSB).
