Extract

Field experiments with chick peas (Rawat & Sanoria, 1977) and peas (Sanoria & Ram, 1979) showed a synergistic effect of a particular Rhizobium and Azotobacter on yield and quality of seed. Isolates of R. leguminosarum revealed differences in the yield and quality of lentil grown in pots and in the field (Mallik & Sanoria, 1980). As there is no evidence in the literature regarding the simultaneous use of Rhizobium and Azotobacter on lentil (Lens esculenta), this study was undertaken to assess their effect on the yield and quality of lentil in field.
