Abstract

Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) commonly known as gram or Bengal gram, is an important pulse crop in India. Its productivity is low due to some biotic and abiotic stress, where diseases constitute major biotic constraints. For eco-friendly and sustainable management, T. viride was found effective as biocontrol and in enhancing yield. Methods: An experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2018-19 on nodule enumeration and nutrient quality of chickpea influenced by inoculation of T. viride derived from treatment of different carbon and nitrogen sources at research field JNKVV, Jabalpur, India. Trials followed randomized block design (RBD) experimental design, where a total of 16 treatments including fertilized uninoculated (FUI) replicated thrice using chickpea var. JG-16 as test crop. Result: From the result it can be proposed that seed treatment from T. viride isolates derived from peptone + ammonium sulphate was found significantly effective on the nodule enumeration like no. of nodule, nodule biomass, nutrient content in seed and straw and yield of chickpea.
