Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during rabi 2015-16. The experiment consisted of treatments such as application of different vermicompost levels (V0, V1 and V2), bio-inoculation of seeds with Azatobactor + PSB, different fertility levels (F1, F2 and F3). The experiment was conducted in factorial randomized block design and replicated thrice. Results of field experiment revealed that application of 4 t vermicompost (V2), bio-inoculation of seed with Azotobactor + PSB (B1) and in fertility level 100 % RDF had significant effect on various growth parameter viz., plant height at harvest (V2 = 97.04, B1 = 96.27 & 100 % RDF = 97.10), dry matter accumulation (at 60 DAS, 90 DAS & harvest) and in yield parameter viz., total number of tillers at harvest, grain yield (V2 = 5210, B1 = 5155 & 100 % RDF = 5468 Kg ha-1), straw yield (V2 = 8104, B1 = 7901 & 100 % RDF = 8243 Kg ha-1) and biological yield (V2 =13314, B1 = 13056 & 100 % RDF = 13712 Kg ha-1) and the test weight is statistically at par with 2 t ha-1 vermicompost (V1), without inoculation of seed (B0) and 75 % RDF. Harvest index was non effected by various treatments.
