A field experiment was conducted to assess the effect of Rhizobium and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) alone and in combination with different recommended NP levels i.e. RDF (20-17.4 kg N-P/ha) on perfor- mance of rain fed cluster bean ( Cyamposis tetragonoloba L. Taub.) at Bikaner. Increasing NP levels resulted inReferences
