 ABSTRACT

Present pot culture studies undertaken to study the influence of Rhizobial Biofertilizer with 12 treatments following Complete Randomized Block Design (CRD) on nodulation, nitrogenase activity by Acetylene Reduction Assay and yield. Application of liquid based biofertilizers i.e T9 - Seed treatment with LBF at the time of sowing + soil application at 40 DAS affected the nodule formation, growth, yield of mungbean and microbial population in the soil. Application of biofertilizers twice through seed treatment and soil application at 40 DAS appeared to influence positively the Nitrogenase activity, growth, yield of the plants. This is due to the availability of viable Rhizobia  supplied through biofertilizers in the soil.

Key words: Rhizobia, Biofertilizers, Acetylene Reduction Assay.
