Use of Nitrogen fixing bacteria

Nitrogen fixing bacteria are beneficial bacteria capable of transforming atmospheric nitrogen in to fixed nitrogen (inorganic compounds usable by plants). Same important Nitrogen fixing bacteria like Rhizobium, Azospirillum, Azotobactor etc. used by farmers as a culture. Apply through seed treatment 5 gm per kg seed or 2 kg per acre through soil application with 100 kg FYM.

  • To get more yield from the crop it is very necessary to have proper number of plants per unit in the field.
  • For proper number of plants, the seed rate and the proper distance of the plant from the row and the plant have an important role.
  • 80 kg for dry farming And for irrigated area 60 kg The amount of seed is adequate per hectare.
  • The depth of seed for the dry land crop is 7 to 10 cm. For the irrigated area, sowing of seeds should be done in depth from 5 to 7 cm depth. Line to line distance 45 to 50 Cm should be kept on.

Suitable soil for Gram

Gram is grown on a wide range of soils in India. In Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, black cotton soils are used. Though gram is grown on all kinds of soils, sandy loam to clay loam is considered to be the most suitable which are found in Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan.  For better growth soil should be well drained and not too heavy. Heavy soils have a high water retention capacity which encourages heavy vegetative growth due to which light becomes limiting and decreases fruiting. The soil chosen for its cultivation should be free from excessive soluble salts and near neutral in reaction (6.5-75 pH).
