Response of Rhizobium VA-Mycorrhiza and Phosphorus on Yield and Yield Contributing Characters of Pea (Pisum sativum L.)

Response of Rhizobium, VA-mycorrhiza (VAM) and phosphorus on yield and yield contributing characters of pea (Pisum sativum L.) was conducted at Instructional Farm of N.D. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi season 2009-10 with three replications. Inoculation of Rhizobium, VAM and 50 kg P₂O₅ gave better response in respect to nodulation, VAM colonization and spore population of VAM fungi, yield and yield attributes and protein content in grain. Chemical properties of the soil was also improved after inoculation of Rhizobium and VAM.
