Efficacy of co-inoculation of the rhizobium and pseudomonas in combination with chemical fertilizer on the productivity of rice under legume-based cropping system

The main production restriction in Nepal is a shortage of nitrogen and phosphorus-based fertilizers. In addition, the excessive use chemical fertilizers to increase rice alters soils’ physicochemical biological qualities. effective application biofertilizers obtained from beneficial microorganisms on demand for increasing agriculture as well maintaining soil health sustainably. experiment was conducted completely randomized block design (RCBD) with five treatments four replications at Grain Legumes Research Program (GLRP), Khajura, Banke order find out response co-inoculation Rhizobium Pseudomonas combination different dose recommended co-inoculated 800 g/ha along N:P2O5:K2O 100:60:30 kg/ha found be best among all treatment combinations. maximum panicle length, yield, grain yield thousand grains weight were 27.75 cm, 6.55 t/ha, 6.083 27.67 g, respectively. this study, Rhizobium, full prescribed improved considerably more than others.
