The effect of artificial inoculation of Rhizobium with or without basal dose of nitrogen on yield and nitrogen assimilation in black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) was studied. Rhizobial inoculation increased the dry weight nodulation, yield of pods, grain weight and uptake of nitrogen by grain significantly over control. Application of 15 kg N/ha as basal dose along with rhizobial inoculation was found to be much superior in improving the grain yield and weight in addition to other biological components.
