Effect of Microbial Inoculants on Nutrient Uptake, Yield and Quality of Chickpea Genotypes

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during the Rabi season of 2004-05 to find out the effect of microbial inoculants on nutrient uptake, yield and quality of potential genotypes of chickpea. Amongst the chickpea genotypes, IG-593 showed the highest protein content in seed and straw that is 19.47 and 4.04%, respectively. The application of microbial inoculants ( Rhizobium + PSB) significantly increased the yield and protein content in grain and straw of chickpea genotypes. Further it was noted that the dual inoculation ( Rhizobium + PSB) enhanced the uptake of N and P by chickpea and IG-593 registered the best performance for productivity, quality and nutrients uptake.
