ABSTRACT

A field experiment was carried out during rabi seasons of 2009-10 and 2010-11 to study the effect of irrigation and phosphorus levels on growth, yield and nodulation of broad bean. Treatment receiving irrigation at y = -0.03 MPa at 30 cm soil depth (I3) maintained its superiority with 5.11 and 34.97% higher seed yield compared to irrigation at y = -0.05 MPa at 30 cm soil depth (I2) and rainfed (I1), respectively. Treatment receiving 75 kg P2O5 ha-1 (P4) was significantly superior with 9.26 and 28.26% higher seed yield over 50 kg P2O5 ha-1 (P3) and 25 kg P2O5 ha-1 (P2) treatments, respectively. Growth, yield attributing characters and nodulation also followed the trend of seed yield. The treatment combination receiving irrigation at = -0.03 MPa at 30 cm soil depth along with 75 kg P2O5 ha-1 (I3P4) proved as best treatment combination.
