Summary

The effect of aldrin on nodulation (nodule number and their dry weight) in bengal gram (Cicer arietinum) was not very clear. Aldrin decreased nitrogen fixation and yield at the concentration of 1, 5 and 10 ppm in soil. The application of farm yard manure eliminated completely the adverse effects on yield and partially, the adverse effects on nitrogen fixation. There was an increase in yield with the application of aldrin along with farm yard manure. Nodulation and nitrogen fixation at 1 ppm level of aldrin were more than control in presence of FYM. re]19760102
