Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at the Instructional Cum Research Farm of S. G. College of Agriculture and Research Station, Jagdalpur, Chhattisgarh, India, during the Kharif season of 2021. The Inceptisol soil used in the experiment was acidic in nature, low in organic carbon, low in accessible N and P, and medium in K. With three replications and nine treatments, the experiment was conducted using a randomized block design (RBD). The results showed that the highest grain production, straw yield, dry matter accumulation, and leaf area index were achieved by treatment T₅ (100% NPK + 5 t FYM ha^-1 + Azospirillum and PSB). However, different INM had significant effect on different growth indices of DSR viz., crop growth rate, relative growth rate and net assimilation rate.
