Abstract

Application of 40 kg ha−1 sulphur along with rhizobium inoculation recorded significant improvement in enhancing the protein and reducing sugar contents in c.v. K-75 variety in the year 1999–2000 whereas the rhizobium inoculation along with 60 kg ha−1 S. S increased the non reducing and total sugar contents in c.v. K-75 in comparison of PL-406, PL-639 and Narendra-1 varieties in the year 2000–2001 respectively. PL-639 variety sown without rhizobium inoculation recorded significantly lowest reducing and non-reducing sugar.
