Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted in Split Plot Design with three replications during Rabi seasons of 2018-19 and 2019-20 in the Research Farm, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Jabalpur to study the effect of nutrient management and bio-inoculants on the growth parameters, yield attributes, and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Different treatments of recommended dose of fertilizers and bio-inoculums with their interactions viz., F₀=control, F₁=50% RDF, F₂=75% RDF, F₃= 100% RDF; Bio-inoculums; B₀=without bio-inoculums, B₁=VAM 10 kg ha^-1, B₂=Pseudomonas 5 kg ha^-1, B₃= VAM 10 kg ha^-1 + Pseudomonas 5 kg ha^-1. Results revealed that application of F3 and B3 and their combinations recorded significantly more days to physiological maturity as well as highest LAI (at 30, 60 & 90 DAS), CCI, and yield attributes i.e. Number of tillers m^-2, Number of spike m^-2, spike length, Number of grain spike^-1, Test weight (1000 seed wt.), Grain yield, Straw yield, and Harvest index.
