The study was carried out to investigate the yield and soil quality of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and moong (Vigna radiate L.) crop. In order
to obtain high precision in the results of the present investigation, the
research trials were conducted for two consecutive years 2008-09 and
2009-10 under field conditions at Artoni (Agra) site. The experiment was
laid out in RBD with five microbes (Azospirillum, Azotobactor, PSB, Azolla
and Rhizobium) and four levels (120 and 60 kg N for wheat and 25 and 10 kg
N for moong crop) of nitrogen. The results of this experiment proved that
T2 treatment (Azospirillum +60 kg N ha-1) showed the best outcome during
both the years for wheat crop and in moong crop. The growth and yield
parameters i.e. plant height, no. of branches plant-1 no. of pods plant-1, pod
length and grain yield were observed and treatment T7 (Rhizobium +10 kg
N ha-1) was found to be better combination than others. The soil in respect
to its physico-chemical properties showed an improvement due to the use
of biofertilizers when compared to control and farmers practice.
