Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm of the ANDUAT, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.), during Rabi of 2017-18 to evaluate the Effect of different combination of biofertilizers on nutrient uptake and soil fertility under chickpea. The results revealed that the combined application of RDF 100%, Rhizobium, PSB and azotobacter (T₈) significantly improved the N, P, K uptake by chickpea crop and improve soil properties like increase in availability of N (152 to 265.90 kg/ha), P (16.5 to 18.29 kg/ha), K (225.36 to 258.20 kg/ha), S (13.19 to 14.63 kg/ha) and Zn (0.49 to 0.59 ppm), organic carbon (3.5 to 3.9 g kg^-1) as well as maximum decline in soil pH (8.62 to 8.30) and EC (0.36 to 0.28 dSm^-1) which is closely followed by treatment (Rhizobium + PSB) T₅.
