Abstract :
The experiment was laid out in a Factorial Randomized Block Design with twelve treatments and replicated thrice. Results indicate that the seed inoculation with Rhizobium showed some good results increasing numbers of nodules and uptake of nutrients due to inoculation. Significant effects were observed in plants growth attributes due to presence of phosphorus and uptake of phosphorus increased due to presence of sulphur @ 20kg ha-1 ultimately resulting in good yield. However, plant heights (66.00cm), Number of branches plant-1 (4.82), Number of nodules plant-1 (5.83), Number of grains pod-1 (12.56), test weight (51.03g) and grain yield (12.39 q/ha) were found significantly affected by the application of Rhizobium inoculation, application of 45kg phosphorus through DAP and 20kg sulphur through Gypsum ha-1. Cost benefit ratio was also found (2.22) on higher side.
