Biofertilizers like Rhizobium, phosphobacteria and PSB can fix atmospheric nutrients. Use of organic liquid fertilizers, Growth regulators, inorganic fertilizer along with organic manures arrest the flower drops, increase yield and quality of pulses. Integrated nutrient management, Application of NPK fertilizers , micronutrients : Zinc, iron, boron, molybdenum etc. with organic manures are improved the soil physical, chemical and biological health of the soil.
