Effect of N-fertilizer and rhizobium on Vigana-radiata (L) and Cajanus cajan

To determine the effect of rhizobium inoculation and nitrogen fertilizer on performance of Vigna radiata and Cajanus cajan. Investigations were done in field conditions. The research material consists of Vigna radiate(L.) and Cajanus cajan varieties with treatment of seeds and Nitrogen fertilizer at 60kg/ha for Vigna radiate(L.) and Cajanus cajan. These treatments were compared against control (no inoculation). Data were recorded on Plant Growth parameters (seed germination, nodulation, plant height at maturity, wet weight and dry weight) and soil nitrogen levels at the end of experiment. Among all treatments plant with seed inoculation was found effective in all two legume varieties compared to soil with nitrogen fertilizer and control.
