Summary

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of Rhizobium inoculation, nitrogen and simazine application, individually and in combination, on yield and quality of Bengal gram. Application of nitrogen and simazine, and seed inoculation with Rhizobium increased the grain yield significantly. The combined treatment of Rhizobium, simazine and nitrogen increased the grain yield to the extent of 70 per cent over control. Application of simazine increased the methionine content. re]19760609
