Abstract

A field experiment consisting of 16 treatments, viz. four levels each of fertility and different biofertilizer inoculations alone and in combination was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications at Horticulture Farm, College of Agriculture, Bikaner, during 2010–11. The treatment combination consisting of 100 per cent recommended dose of NPK + PSB showed plant height, number of leaves, yield per plot and total yield significantly higher over the control application of fertilizers and biofertilizers alone. It was statistically at par with 150 per cent recommended dose of NPK in combination with other biofertilizers inoculations.
