Abstract

An experiment was conducted during winter seasons of 2008–09 to 2009–10 consecutively at Kumarganj, Faizabad to study the effect of phosphorus and biofertilizer on growth, yield and quality of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under rainfed condition. Application of 60 kg P2O5/ha significantly increased the number of nodules/plant, fresh and dry weight of nodules/plant, yield attributes and seed, straw and biological yields. Application of phosphorus increased the N and P uptake up to 60 kg P2O5/ha. Peat based biofertilizer inoculation (PSB+Rhizo) at 1.60 kg/ha was used for seed inoculation which gave significantly higher number of nodules, fresh and dry weight of nodules, seed, straw and biological yields and nutrient uptake compared to uninoculation and PSB or Rhizobium inoculation alone.
