ABSTRACT

The present experiment investigated the effects of Rhizobium and mycorrhizal fungal spores on two different varieties of Lens culinaris (Narendra Masoor-1 and Shekhar-2). Lentil varieties were cultivated in the research field of Bipin Bihari College, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. Lentil seeds have been inoculated separately and in combination with Rhizobium and mycorrhizal spores. Plant height, weight, number of root nodules and pods, amount of chlorophyll, leaf area, and total yield were all measured after germination. The data were collected 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 75 days, 90 days, and 120 days after seeding. These tests revealed that mycorrhiza and Rhizobium had a positive impact on the growth and yield of the lentil plant. The results are better when Rhizobium and mycorrhiza are inoculated together than when they are inoculated separately.

KEY WORDS : Biofertilizer, Lens culinaris, Mycorrhiza, Rhizobium.
