ABSTRACT

The impact of Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungal spores on two varieties (RVG 202 and Radhey) of Cicer arietinum (Chickpea) was studied in this research. In the research field of the Bipin Bihari College Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, seeds of chickpea varieties RVG 202 and Radhey were sown. Chickpea seeds were inoculated individually and together with Rhizobium and mycorrhizal spores. After germination, measurements of plant height, plant weight, the number of root nodules and number of pods, amount of chlorophyll, leaf area, and total yield were recorded. The data were measured after 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, and 120 days after sowing. According to the findings of these tests, mycorrhiza and Rhizobium had a good impact on the growth and yield of chickpea plant. When Rhizobium and mycorrhiza are inoculated together, the results are better than when they are inoculated separately.
