Abstract:
An experiment was carried out during Kharif season of 2021 at the Instructional cum Research Farm, S. G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, India. The soil in the experimental field was Inceptisol, which was acidic in nature, poor in organic carbon, low in available N and P, and medium in K. The experiment was carried out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replication consisted of nine treatments. The result revealed that treatment T₅ (100% NPK + 5t FYM/ha + Azospirillum and PSB) recorded significantly greater growth parameters and yield attributing characters viz., plant population, plant height, number of tillers, length of panicle, test weight, number of grains panicle^-1, grain yield, straw yield and maximum gross and net income among all the treatments. But the highest B: C ratio was noted in treatment T₁ (100% RDF) which was on par with treatment T₅ (100% NPK + 5t FYM/ha + Azospirillum and PSB).
