<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: \'Times New Roman\',\'serif\';\">In India there is a decline in crop productivity and farmer&rsquo;s profitability due to the excessive application of agrochemicals. Population is increasing continuously therefore it is urgency to enhance per capita crop production but there is a need to protect our ecological system also. It was reported that long term sustainability of crop production depends on maintenance of soil fertility. Experiencing the adverse effects of synthetic fertilizers the concept of organic farming is gaining importance. India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses in the world. Research needs to be conducted for determining the effect of biofertilizers efficacy on the grain yield. The response of seed inoculation with Rhizobium culture on grain yield of green gram and black gram was studied. The relative yield performance of organic and conventional farming systems was also studied to compare them. For assessing the response of green gram and black gram to seed inoculation with Rhizobium culture, a pot culture experiment was conducted under natural conditions. The plants were sown by using ten seeds per pot and 5 kg of the soil was added in each pot. Nitrogen fertilizer(33.3g per pot) was applied in the form of diammonium phosphate (DAP). For seed inoculation, seeds were coated with paste of Rhizobium inoculums and sown in pots. Rhizobial inoculation was found to be more effective and give positive effect on grain yield.</span></p>
