EFFECT OF RHIZOBIUM INOCULATION TO DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF GARDENPEA (Pisum sativum L.) (Pages : 30 - 33)

A pot experiment was carried out at the net house of Soil Science Division, BARI, Joydebpur, Gazipur during rabi season of 2005-2006 and 2006-2007 to find out the response of inoculation with different plant genotypes of gardenpea. Three varieties of gardenpea viz. BARI Motorshuti-1, BARI Motorshuti-2, BARI Motorshuti-3 and rhizobial inoculum (BARI RPs-502) were used in this experiment. Each variety was tested with and without inoculation. Inoculated plants gave significantly higher nodule number, nodule weight, root weight, shoot weight, stover yield and seed yield compared to non-inoculated plants. Among the three varieties, BARI Motorshuti-1 produced the highest yield in both the years. The seed yield of variety BARI Motorshuti-1 were 35% and 31% higher for inoculated plants compared to uninoculated ones for the years 2005-06 and 2006-07, respectively. Download
