- Association Nodule number and nodule dry weight were reduced by 47% compared with 9 t/ha vermicompost.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation increased nodule number and nodule dry weight by 35% over uninoculated plants.
- Association Highest number of nodules per plant was recorded at the NPSB rate of 60 kg/ha.
- Association Lowest number of nodules per plant was at the control.
- Intervention effect Pod number, straw yield and grain yield significantly increased with integrated use of rhizobium inoculation, vermicompost and NPSB fertilizer.
- Association Highest grain yield (80.1 g/pot) was obtained from combined 6 t/ha vermicompost, 60 kg/ha NPSB and rhizobium inoculation.
- Association Highest number of pods per plant (28.67) was obtained from combined 6 t/ha vermicompost, 60 kg/ha NPSB and rhizobium inoculation.
- Association Highest straw yield (125.86 g/pot) was obtained from combined 6 t/ha vermicompost, 60 kg/ha NPSB and rhizobium inoculation.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation significantly improved total N uptake by 20.4% over the control treatment.
- Intervention effect Rhizobium inoculation significantly improved total P uptake by 15.5% over the control treatment.
- Recommendation Integrated application of rhizobia inoculation, 6 t/ha vermicompost and 60 kg/ha blended NPSB is recommended to boost faba bean productivity in the study area.
- Observation Nodulation, yield and yield components and N, P and S uptake were significantly affected by the treatments.
