Response of bio-fertilizers and weed management on weed dynamics and productivity of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Abstract

The present study, entitled “Response of bio-fertilizers and weed management on weed dynamics and productivity of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)”, was conducted during two consecutive rabi seasons (2024-25) at the Agronomy Research Farm, Rama University. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with 20 treatment combination in which four bio-fertilizer treatments in the main plots & subplots included five weed management practices. Results indicated that RDF + Rhizobium + PSB significantly improved growth parameter. The integrated approach proved effective in enhancing chickpea productivity while managing weed dynamics efficiently.
