A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2000–01. The treatments comprised of three nitrogen levels (50, 75 and 100 per cent of recommended dose of nitrogen), two biofertilizer levels (Azotobacter and no Azotobacter), two FYM levels (FYM @ 10t/ha and no FYM) and one absolute control. The results revealed that plant height, number of shoot/m2, dry matter accumulation and number of effective tillers/m2 increased with Azotobacter inoculation, FYM application @ 10t/ha and increasing level of nitrogen up to 100 per cent of recommended dose, while number of grains per spika and 1000-grain weight were not significantly effected by inoculation and FYM application. Harvest index recorded increase with FYM application and increasing level of nitrogen up to 75 per cent of recommended dose, being at par with 100 per cent of recommended dose whereas it decreased with Azotobacter inoculation. It has been found that Azotobacter, FVM and 100% nitrogen produced 36.79, 43.46 and 44.55% more yield over control, respectively.
