“…Biofertilizers with a reduced amount of chemical fertilizers were recommended for better yield of chickpea [21]. Significantly higher values of saloid-P and Ca-P observed in soil with DAP and PSB seed treatment in groundnut [3]. Thus, the present study was undertaken to identify specific level of fertilizers with a reduced or minimized dose of chemical fertilizer to obtain maximum growth components of Vigna radiata and V. mungo crops.…”

Fertilizers are widely used by farmers in agricultural practices in form of chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer and biofertilizer, supplying plants with nutrients for their optimal growth and production. In the beginning, farmers were delighted to get improved yield in agriculture, but gradually, chemical fertilizers began to show their ill impacts such as polluting water basins and leaching out, killing microorganisms and helpful insects, and also decreasing soil fertility. Biofertilizers, on the other hand, refer to articles containing live or latent microbes which help boost fertility of soil by either solubilizing phosphorus, fixing atmospheric nitrogen, decomposing organic waste or stimulating growth of plant through the synthesis of growth-promoting substances. A study was carried out to examine the impact of fertilizers (PSB and DAP) application on growth components of Vigna radiata and V. mungo. As a result, overall maximum value of experimental parameters such as seed germination percentage, root length, shoot length, fresh and dry weight of stem, chlorophyll content, phosphorus content, potassium content, nitrogen content as well as crude protein content were found with combined application of both fertilizers as compared to the control in both Vigna crops. Therefore, it was concluded that the application of biofertilizer with chemical fertilizer showed higher value for experimental parameters as compared to the control and also their single fertilizer treatments in both Vigna crops. The main purpose of the study was to look for the best fertilizer level either single or in combination of chemical fertilizer and biofertilizer, which could be applied to the experimental crops to obtain their enhanced growth components in addition to keeping sustainable and safe environment due to the reduction or minimize the use of chemical fertilizers.
