ABSTRACT
An attempt was made at Research Area of Agronomy, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar, Haryana (India) situated at 29°10' N latitude and 75° 46' E longitude at an elevation of 215.2 m above mean sea level during Kharif 2016 to notice the effect of biomix inoculation and chemical fertilizers on yield and quality parameters of pearlmillet hybrids. Combined application of RDF and biomix inoculation significantly influenced the protein content in grain of pearlmillet hybrids. Protein content of grain in treatment F6 (12.34 %) was significantly higher as compared to the other treatments. Grain protein content in the treatment F6 (12.34 %) was significantly higher as it was compared to other treatments. However, the difference in grain protein content among treatments F6, F5 and F4 were at par statistically. Lowest protein content in the grain was obtained in treatment of F1 (9.0 %). Highest grain yield was recorded in the treatment F6 (30.79 q ha-1) which was recorded at par with treatment F4 (29.65 q ha-1) and F5 (28.81 q ha-1). Pearlmillet hybrid H3 (28.64q ha-1) has produced significantly higher grain yield than the other two hybrids. This was might be due to their better vegetative growth in respect of plant height, number of ear head and of bolder seeds.
