Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the Rhizobium efficiency in chickpea through boron management. The study was carried out during Rabi season of 2006-07 at the Crop Research Centre, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar. The experimental soil was neutral sandy loam with organic carbon of 0.73 per cent, available N and P of 163.07 and 12.33 kg/ha and 0.84, 1.33 and 0.3 mg/kg available Zinc, Boron and Molybdenum, respectively. The total bacterial counts in the initial sample were 5.83x105 CFU/g soil, fungi of 2.90x103 propagules/g soil and dehydrogenase activity was 40.29 µg/ TPF/g soil/24 h. Six treatments consisting combinations of Boron with and without Rhizobium sp. inoculation, were laid out in randomized block design (RBD) in triplicate. Rhizobium inoculation gave significant increase of 32.60% in nodule dry weight at 75 DAS over control. Among the two levels of boron, 10 kg Borax/ha was found superiorto 5 kg Borax/ha for different studied parameters. Combined application of Rhizobium and 5 kg Borax/ha showed better and positive effect on nodulation, plant dry weight, uptake and yield of chickpea than the 10 kg Borax/ha. The highest grain yield of 2977 kg/ha was recorded due to inoculation with Rhizobium + 10 kg Borax/ha. Boron application in combination with Rhizobium also influenced the dehydrogenase activity significantly.
