A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season 2013-14 in loamy sand (soil order) at Horticulture farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner to assess the effect of bio-fertilizers Rhizobium, VAM and PSB along with graded doses of N and P fertilizers on number of effective root nodules and pod yield of Indian bean. The results revealed that the application of 100% RDF in combination with PSB + VAM + Rhizobium proved to be the most superior treatment combination in terms of maximum number of effective nodules, number of pickings, number of pods per plant, fresh pod weight (g), green pod yield (q/ha) and net returns while it remained statistically at par to with 75% RDF in combination with PSB + VAM + Rhizobium with respect to all these parameters. The interactive advantages of application of 75% RDF with PSB + VAM + Rhizobium indicated the saving of 25% RDF. Thus, combined use of inorganic fertilizers and biofertilizers biological sources of nutrients were proved superior for nodulation and pod yield of Indian bean
