Dual inoculation with Rhizobium sp. and Glomus fasciculatum enhances nodulation, yield and nitrogen fixation in chickpea (Cicer arietinum Linn.)

Seed inoculation with Rhizobium and soil inoculation with Glomus fasciculatum increased nodulation, nitrogen and phosphorus concentration in plants and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) var. BG 212 in pots containing unsterilized soil especially wih 50 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ in the form of superphosphate. I...

Description
Summary:Seed inoculation with Rhizobium and soil inoculation with Glomus fasciculatum increased nodulation, nitrogen and phosphorus concentration in plants and yield of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) var. BG 212 in pots containing unsterilized soil especially wih 50 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ in the form of superphosphate. Inoculation with Rhizobium or G. fasciculatum separately or in combination significantly increased the N₂ fixed in straw and grain than uninoculated controls as determined by ¹⁵N atom percent excess of plants grown in soil amended with labelled ammonium sulphate (¹⁵NH₄)₂ SO₄) at the rate of 20 kg N ha⁻¹. These increases were most pronounced when P was applied at 50 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹.
