Abstract:
Field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Dau Kalyan Singh College of Agriculture and Research Station, Bhatapara (C.G.). during Rabi season 2022-23. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The treatment comprised of four nutrient management as main plot viz., RDF (20:40:20) (N₁), RDF + Rhizobium (N₂), Rhizobium + PSB (N₃) with three weed management practices as sub plot viz., weedy check (W₁), Pendimethalin 30 EC @ 1000 g a.i. ha^-1 (PE) + Topramezone 33.6% SC @ 20.6 g a.i. ha^-1 (PoE) (W₂) and weed free (W₃) check. Post harvest observations showed that nutrient management treatment RDF + Rhizobium + PSB (N₄) and weed management treatment weed free check (W₃) resulted in higher values for the number of pods, pod length, number of seeds per pod, 100-seed weight, seed yield, straw yield and biological yield.
