Abstract
The experiment entitled “Improving biological nitrogen fixation (BNF)
capacity and productivity of kabuli chickpea (Cicer kabulinum L.) varieties by
PSB and molybdenum applications” was executed during rabi 2015-16 at the
ICARDA – FLRP, Amlaha, Sehore (M.P.), India.
Experiment consisted of twelve treatment combinations, laid out in
Factorial randomized block design with three replications. The treatment were
included four inoculants viz., control, Ammonium Molybdate (Mo @ 1 g/kg
seed), Rhizobium + PSB and Rhizobium + PSB + Mo (1 g/kg seed) and three
kabuli varieties (RVSJKG 102, Phule G 0517, PKV 4) for estimate the
individual or combined effect of various treatment on BNF and crop
productivity at field level.
The soil was medium clay loam (Vertisol), low in available nitrogen,
medium in phosphorus and medium in available potash with pH 7.5. Various
growth and yield attributing characters were studied. The experiment was
conducted with following objectives:
1. To determine the effect of PSB biofertilizer and Mo on growth, yield and
quality of kabuli chickpea varieties.
2. To study the effect of PSB and Mo on root nodulation behavior of kabuli
chickpea varieties.
3. To work out economics of different treatments
