A field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2017-18 at Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (U.P.) to evaluate the effect of Rhizobium and PSB inoculation with DAP application. The area situated at a latitude of 29 01’ N and longitudes of 77 75’ E with an elevation of 228 m above mean sea level. The soil of experimental field was well drained, sandy loam in texture, alkaline in reaction (7.81), low in available nitrogen, organic carbon and medium in available phosphorus and potassium with an electrical conductivity of 0.28 dSm. Eight treatments comprising control, inoculation of Rhizobium and PSB with DAP application were tested in RBD with three replications. The chickpea crop was grown with recommended package and practices. The data on growth, yield attributes and yield were estimated as per the standard procedures. The experimental results revealed that growth parameters (plant height, number of branches plant, number of nodules and their fresh and dry weight plant and dry matter accumulation plant), yield attributing traits viz. number of pods plant, number of seeds plant, test weight and biological yield, grain yield, straw yield in chickpea differ significantly among different treatments. Growth parameters were significantly better in the treatment T8 (Rhizobium + PSB+ DAP). The highest grain yield was recorded in T8 where DAP was applied with inoculation of Rhizobium and PSB. This treatment was superior to the other treatments. Growth and yield attributing characters were comparatively higher in T8. From the study it is concluded that the application of DAP with Rhizobium and PSB inoculation (T8 Rhizobium + PSB+ DAP) gave best results and proved to be beneficial for Kabuli chickpea.
