Abstract
Response of inoculated and uninoculated seeds of gram (Cicer arietinum L.), cultivar Paidar-91, was studied to NP levels of 0-0, 13-45, 26-90,39-135 and 52-180 kg ha" under field conditions. Seed yield was increased with the increase in NP levels. Maximum seed yield of 1479.15 kg ha" was obtained with the application of 52-180 kg NP ha:', The increase in yield was mainly due to increased 1000-seed weight. Plant height was also significantly higher at the same level of NP. Seeds treated with inoculum produced significantly higher yield (1450.66 kg ha:') than uninoculated seeds due to higher number of pods plant' I and number of seeds pod". Inoculated seeds also produced significantly taller .plants than uninoculated seeds. Key words: gram, growth and seed yield, inoculation, NP application
