Abstract

At Research Farm Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, NAI, SHUATS, a field experiment was done on the effect of Rhizobium and NPK on soil characteristics, morphology, yield parameters, and nutrient uptake of black gram (Vigna mungo L.). The experiment used Randomized Block Design and was duplicated three times in twenty-seven plots. At 60 DAS, administration of 100 percent Rhizobium + 100 percent NPK considerably increased plant height (60.16 cm), as well as the number of leaves (33) on the plants. The application of 100 percent rhizobium + 100 percent NPK resulted in the highest total dry matter accumulation (20.34). Treatment T1 (0 percent rhizobium + 0 percent NPK) had the lowest value of these parameters. Plant uptake of nutrients was also higher with 100 percent Rhizobium + 100 percent NPK afterwards maximum Nitrogen Phosphorus Potassium uptake in seed (37.8, 4.70, 9.78 kg ha-1) Significantly min uptake of NPK in seed (24.8, 2.24, 6.70 kg ha-1), in stover (23.9, 2.62,7.06 kg h

Conclusion

Today's agricultural challenges include soil fertility loss, climate change, and increased pathogen and pest infestations. Environmentally friendly practices such as the use of biofertilizers, biopesticides, and the return of crop residues are used to produce sufficient quantities in a sustainable and healthy farming system. In terms of N2 fixation capability and tolerance to harsh environments, the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis outperforms other N2-fixing systems. Several legume symbiotic systems are resistant to salinity, alkalinity, acidity, drought, fertilizer, metal toxicity, and other severe environments. The biological fixation of nitrogen is an important process in sustainable agriculture, notably in the legume farming system. To get the most out of leguminous crops, it's a good idea to choose symbiotic partnerships that can withstand harsh conditions and fix a lot of nitrogen. Phosphorus potassium application above the level required for plant growth may not increase plant yield,
