Abstract

The present study was carried out at the Crop Research Centre, Carrier Point University, Kota (Rajasthan), during the kharif season of 2020 and 2021 to assess the effect of phosphorus, rhizobium and phosphate solubilizing bacteria on growth and yield attributes of green gram. Significantly increase in growth, yield attributes and yield of green gram were recorded with the application of phosphorus 50 kg P2 O5 /ha. In case of biofertilizers (PSB, Rhizobium and PSB + Rhizobium), all growth and yield attributes and yield were increased significantly. However, among treatment combinations, the maximum values of these parameters were observed with 50 kg P2 O5 /ha + biofertilizers (PSB + Rhizobium) in comparison to all other treatment combinations. The net returns and B: C ratio were also higher under 50 kg P2 O5 /ha + biofertilizers (PSB + Rhizobium).
