Abstracts |
The effects of biofertilizers (Rhizobium and/or vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM)), NPK fertilizers (75, 100 and 125%) and herbicide application (1 kg a.i. pendimethalin/ha with or without hoeing 40 days after sowing) on the growth and yield of chickpea cv. KPG 59 were determined in a field experiment conducted in Uttar Pradesh, India during the rabi season of 2000-02. The dominant weed species in the experimental field included Anagallis arvensis, Argemone mexicana, Avena sterilis subsp. ludoviciana, Chenopodium album, Cynodon dactylon, Cyperus rotundus, Melilotus alba, Melilotus indica, Phalaris minor, Vicia hirsuta and Vicia sativa Application of VAM resulted in the lowest weed count (3.7/m2) and weed dry weight (3.1 g/m2), whereas the combined application of Rhizobium and VAM resulted in the highest number of pods per plant (25.2), seed yield per plant (6.9 g), test weight (151.7 g) seed yield (1.57), straw yield (3.56), protein content (22%) and net returns (Rs. 11 830). The values of the parameters measured increased with increasing rates of NPK, and except for weed count and dry weight, were higher with application of pendimethalin in combination with hoeing.. |
