A field experiment was conducted during two Rabi seasons 2023-24 and 2024-25 at Research Farm, Agricultural Research Station, Sriganganagar, Rajasthan to study the effect of different fertility levels and liquid biofertilizers. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design with three replications. The treatments consist of4 levels of fertility (Control, 50% RDF, 75% RDF and 100% RDF) in main plots and 5 liquid biofertilizers [Azotobacter, Phosphorus solubilizing bio-fertilizer (PSB), Potassium mobilizing bio-fertilizer (KMB), Zinc solubilizing bio-fertilizer (ZSB) and NPK consortia + ZSB] along with control in sub plots and comprising a total of 24 treatment combinations. The results revealed significant differences in yield and quality attributes across fertility levels and liquid biofertilizers. The maximum seedand stover yield and nutrients (N, P, K, S) content and uptake were recorded with the 100% RDF and NPK consortia + ZSB among the fertility levels and liquid biofertilizers, respectively.
