An experiment was conducted to examine the thirty treatments with five levels of organic nutrients viz., control (Recommended dose of N as urea), farmyard manure, vermicompost, poultry manure and neem cake along with six levels of bio-fertilizers viz., seed treatment with PSB (200 ml/ha), seed treatment with KMB (200 ml/ha), seed treatment with Azospirillum (200 ml/ha), soil treatment with PSB (500 ml/acre), soil treatment with KMB (500 ml/acre) and soil treatment with Azospirillum (500 ml/acre) were tested in a Randomized Block Design (with factorial concept) with three replications during the rabi season of the year 2013 and 2014. The results revealed that, the significantly maximum weight of pod (6.10 g, 6.29 g and 6.19 g), highest yield of pods per plot (1.98 kg, 2.22 kg and 2.10 kg) and yield of pods per hectare (101.35 q, 113.70 q and 107.52 q) was recorded with treatment F5 (Recommended dose of N as neem cake) and treatment T1 [Seed treatment with PSB (200ml/ha)] was found significantly highest number of pods harvested per plant (6.34, 6.16 and 6.25), weight of pod (6.22 g, 6.26 g and 6.24 g), yield of pods per plot (1.93 kg, 2.19 kg and 2.06 kg) and yield of pods per hectare (98.73 q, 112.28 q and 105.50 q) during the year 2013, 2014 and in pooled analysis, respectively. The significantly highest number of pods harvested per plant (5.89) was observed with treatment F5 (Recommended dose of N as neem cake) in pooled. The significantly maximum nitrogen content (4.20 % and 4.15 %) and protein content (26.28 % and 25.96 %) was recorded with treatment F5 (Recommended dose of N as neem cake) and treatment T1 [Seed treatment with PSB (200ml/ha)] was found significantly maximum nitrogen content (4.29 % and 4.13 %) and protein content (26.86 % and 25.88 %) during the year 2013 and 2014.
