ABSTRACT
Application of mycorrhiza biofertilizer along with recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) was investigated through a field experiment conducted at main agricultural research station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. Mycorrhiza biofertilizer (37.5 kg ha-1) as soil application along with RDF significantly influenced and recorded the highest growth and yield parameters with increased nodulation in chickpea. Seven per cent grain yield was increased with same combination of treatment. Thus mycorrhiza inoculation has increased the plant growth and yield parameters, nodule numbers and yield compared to the different levels of RDF alone.
Key words :
Chickpea, Cicer arietinum, mycorrhiza bio fertilizer, nutrient management.
