Abstract

Red kidney bean plants were treated with different grades of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) along with biopriming with Trichoderma harzianum in greenhouse to study the combined effect of fertilizers and microbial inoculant in lack of such studies and especially in red kidney bean in which N- fixation (nodulation) is either absent or meagre. Results represented that T2 showed maximum growth attributes while T5 showed comparable growth followed by T4, T3, T6 and T1. Biopriming improved different yield attributing characters with lesser fertilizer doses comparable to RDF in relation to nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Plants treated with RDF without bio-treatments was found to be best as per growth but the plants treated with 90% RDF combined with biopriming was comparable and suggests that the use of bio-agents can be used significantly to supplement the nutritional needs of the crop which is reduced as a part of the nutrients. Also, the plants treated solely with the bio-agent

Keywords

Bio-priming, yield attributes, seed index, rajmash/ dry bean.

Conclusion

The research data supports the points that Biopriming of the crop with Trichoderma harzianum improved different yield attributes like number of trifoliate branches/plant, weight of pods, number of pods, number of seeds per pods, pod length, seed index,Yield/pot in red kidney bean. Improvement in these traits of the crops resulted in increased economic as well as biological produce of red kidney and ultimately harvesting index for the crop.
