Influence of biofertilizers and phosphorus on growth and yield of greengram

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season 2023 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology. To determine “Influence of Biofertilizers and Phosphorus on growth and yield of Greengram (Phaseolus radiatus L.)”. The result revealed that treatment 9 (Rhizobium + PSB + Phosphorus 50 kg/ha) recorded significant and higher plant height (47.13 cm), maximum number of nodules/plant (8.55), higher plant dry weight (7.75 g), maximum number of pods/plant (29.51), maximum number of seeds/pod (7.47), higher test weight (40.59 g), higher seed yield (1204.92 kg/ha), and higher stover yield (2209.93 kg/ha), maximum gross return (97,498.83 INR/ha), maximum net return (64,684.83 INR/ha), maximum B:C ratio (1.97) was recorded in treatment 9 (Rhizobium + PSB + Phosphorus 50 kg/ha) as compared to other treatments was found to be productive as well as economically feasible
