Effect of Rhizobium, PSB and Mo on the Growth of Different Varieties of Kabuli Chickpea (Cicer kabulinum L.)

The present investigation was conducted with the objective of finding out the Effect of Rhizobium, PSB and Mo on the Growth of Different Varieties of Kabuli Chickpea. The study comprised six treatments of Inoculants I1-Control, I2-Rhizobium(Rh.)+phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) seed inoculation, I3-Molybdenum (Mo)@0.5 g AM* kg-1 seed, I4-Molybdenum @1.0 g AM kg-1 seed, I5-Rh.+PSB+Mo seed treatment @0.5g AM kg-1 seed, I6-Rh.+PSB+Mo seed treatment 1.0g AM kg-1 seed and two varieties V1-RVSJKG 102, V2-Phule G 0517, evaluated in Factorial randomized block design (FRBD) with three replications. The results of the present study revealed that the seed inoculation, I6Rh.+ PSB + Mo@1 g AM kg-1 seed was found to be the best among other inoculants with respect to growth in chickpeas, and Variety Phule G 0517 produced higher values of growth and yield attributing.
