Abstracts |
An experiment was conducted with chickpea in New Delhi, India, during the rabi seasons of 2000/01 and 2001/02. The treatments comprised 4 levels of biofertilizer inoculation (no inoculation, phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB), vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) and PSB+VAM), 3 P levels (0, 30 and 60 kg/ha) and 2 modes of P application (dry placement and aqua placement with 20 000 litres of water/ha). Inoculation of biofertilizers increased the yield and nutrient (N, P and K) uptake. The inoculation of PSB+VAM recorded higher yield and nutrient uptake over PSB and VAM individual applications. The yield and nutrient uptake also increased with increasing levels of P. Aqua placement of P also improved the yield and nutrient uptake by chickpea. |
