Abstract

The compatibility of moong rhizobia (M-1006) against lethal doses of pesticides viz., chlorophyrlphos, monocotophos, furadan and forate in green gram (K851) was studied in terms of its nodule occupancy, noudle number, nitrogen fixation and grain yield in green gram in sandy loam soil of Hisar at different method of inoculations. Rhizobial compatibility in terms of nodule occupancy, nodule number, nitrogen fixation and grain yield of green gram was much higher in rhizobial treatment done after 24 hours of pesticidal treatments (P2) than in rhizobial treatment done simultaneously with pesticidal treatment (P1) While using P2 treatment, the compatibility of M-1006 In terms of nodule occupancy, nodule number, nitrogen fixation and grain yield in green gram was much higher against lethal doses of forate (81%, 39,2.30% and 9.1 gm/plant respectively), followed by furadan (62%,36, 20.5% and 8.9 gm/plant respectively), monocotophos (50%, 35, 1.60%, 2.9% and 8 gm/plant respectively) and chloropyrlphos (56%,30, 1.45% and 7.2 gm/plant respectively).
