Abstract

An experiment was conducted to study the response of Rhizobium leguminosarum, Glomus mosseae and Pseudomonas fluorescens individually and in different combination with three pea cultivars. All the three pea varieties Rachna, HUDP 16 and IIUP 2 responded better with Rhizobium. Dual inoculation with Glomus mosseae resulted in maximum increase in yield of 30% with var. Rachna. Triple inoculation i.e., Rhizobium, Glomus mossene and Pseudomonas resulted in increase of >44% in grain yield with var. HUDP 16 followed by Rachna (>40%) and HUP 2 (>39%). Glomus mossede alone was also very effective enhancing >23% in grain yield with var. Rachna followed by >14% with HUDP 16 and 11% with var. HUP 2. Synergistic effect of co-inoculation with Rhizobium and Pseudomonas (PGPR) gave an increase of >33.3% in grain yield of pea with var. Rachna.
