Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during 1989 and 1990 to study the: response of summer greengram (Phaseolus radiatus L.) to Rhizobium inoc ulation, plant population and phosphorus levels. Rhizobium inoculation increased the dry-matter accumulation, number of nodules:plant, nodul e weight/ plant, nutrient uptake and yield attributes. Plant populatio n at 30 cm row spacing increased the grain yield (18.5%) and found sup erior to 40 and 20 nn spacings, Phosphorus @ 40 kg P2O5/ha increased t he grain yield by 17.2% over the control. interactions among inoculati on and phosphorus, row spacing and phosphorus and inoculation and row Spacing were also found significant for yield attributes, grain yield and nutrient uptake respectively.
