The objective of the study was to find out the best combination of inorganic fertilizer and bio-fertilizer in relation of yield and vegetative growth of chickpea. The result revealed that the growth parameters namely, plant population, plant height, root nodules plant-1 and dry matter production plant-1 were significantly affected by the application of inorganic fertilizer dose and bio-fertilizer. The number of pods plant-1, seed index (100 seed weight in g), and stover yield showed maximum values (67.13, 20.50 g, 2370 kg/ha) in T1 i.e. 100% RDF which is closely followed by T2 i.e. 75% RDF + PSB as soil application + Rhizobium as seed treatment. Whereas the application of 75% RDF + PSB as soil application + Rhizobium as seed treatment recorded maximum number of seeds pod-1 and biological yield (kg ha-1) which is 107% and 27% more than c...

With regards to different interaction, Pods stored in polyvinyl bag packing with vaccum and treated with methyl parathion with calcium chloride (T8C4) maintained lowest seed moisture per cent, pods stored in polyvinyl bag packing with vaccum and treated with methyl parathion with calcium chloride (T8C4) and in aluminum foil laminated bag treated with methyl parathion with calcium chloride (T8C3) maintained minimum bruchid infestation, while pods stored in aluminum foil laminated bag treated with malathion and stored in polyvinyl bag packing with vaccum treated with silica gel (T4C3 ...

With regards to different seed pelleting treatments, (Thiram (3 g/kg) + Imidacloprid (600 g/lit) helped to maintain higher germination, speed of germination, seedling length, seedling dry weight, strong, seed vigour index (length) and seed vigour index (mass) at the end of eight month of storage period.

Fresh seeds of three chickpea genotypes; GG 1, GJG 3 and GG 4 were sun dried to bring the moisture content to around 10 to 12 per cent and stored in single polythene bag (400 gauge), double polythene (400 + 400 gauge) and gunny bag. The observations were recorded on 75, 150 and 225 days of storage periods. Result revealed that seeds stored in double and single polythene bag have ability to maintain highest germination percentage, speed of germination, seedling length and seed vigour index (length) throughout the storage periods.

With regards to different seed treatments, thirum seed treatment helped to maintain higher germination percentage, first count of seed germination, speed of germination, seedlings fresh weight (g), seedlings dry weight (g) and strong seedlings, while seed treatment with dry neem leaf powder helped to maintain higher shoot and root length of seedling (cm), seedling length (cm) and seed vigour index (length) and seed treatment with castor oil recorded significantly lowest test weight (g).
