Abstract:
During the summer of 2022, the current experiment was set up at Kakhli Research Farm of Dr. KSG Akal College of Agriculture, Eternal University, Baru Sahib (HP). The experiment comprises of two factors: PSB (with and without inoculation) and phosphorus levels (0, 20, 40, and 60 kg P/ha), which were combined to create eight treatment combinations that were laid out in FRBD and replicated three times. Phosphorus concentrations and PSB inoculation had a positive impact on the yield characteristics of black gram. Grain and straw yields both improved with the application of 60 kg P/ha+ PSB. Furthermore, grain and straw production increased when seeds were treated with PSB compared to the control (untreated). Conclusion: When compared to lower levels and the control, the usage of 60 kg P/ha in conjunction with PSB was statistically superior in terms of yield attributes of black gram.
