Seed inoculation with Rhizobium and integrated nutrient management influences the productivity of groundnut and their residual impact on finger millet

Sole application of chemical fertilizers for crop raising has shown a harmful effect on the environment. Integrated nutrient management (INM) is a better option that meets the crop demand as well as improves the soil quality and the residual soil nutrient for the succeeding crop. Based on the preceding rationale, a two-year factorial randomized block design (FRBD with three replications was conducted to evaluate the impact of integrated nutrient management (INM) on the growth, yield, and nutrient acquisition of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), as well as its subsequent residual effects on finger millet (Eleusine coracana L. Gaertn.). The experimental design incorporated two factors: seed inoculation with biofertilizers and nutrient management practices. The seed inoculation factor comprised two levels: S1 (solid…
