Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2022 on Chickpea crop at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, (U.P India). The soil of the experimental plot was Sandy loam in texture, with a pH 7.2, that was neutral with EC- 0.26 (dS/m), organic carbon (0.72%), available N (178.48kg/ha), available P (27.80kg/ha) and available K (233.24kg/ha). The treatments consisted of 3 levels of Phosphorus (40, 50 and 60kg/ha) and Biofertilizers (Rhizobium sp., Pseudomonas striata, PSB) and a control. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 10 treatments and replicated thrice. The present investigation was carried to find out “Effect of Phosphorus and Biofertilizers on Growth and Yield of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Application of Phosphorus 60kg/ha + PSB produced higher plant height (52.56 cm), No. of nodules/plant (23.03), dry weight (8.19g), No. of pods/plant (30.90), No. of seeds/pod (1.53), seed yield (2570.74kg/ha) and stover yield (3583.33kg/ha) in Chickpea.
