Abstract: A field experiment was carried out at College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari on clayey soils during rabi season of 2017-18 to study the “Integrated nutrient management in rabi Indian Bean (Dolichos lablab L.)”. Recommended dose of fertilizer recorded significantly the highest growth and yield attributes viz., plant height, dry matter accumulation/plant, number of branches at 30 DAS, number of pods/plant, pod yield/plant, pod yield, stover yield and harvest index of rabi Indian Bean except number of branches at 60 DAS and test weight which remained at par with treatment 75% RDF. Application of biocompost @ 2.5 t/ha recorded significantly the highest growth as well and yield attributing characters and yields of rabi Indian Bean. All the growth attributes, yield attributes and yields of Indian Bean recorded significantly the highest under seed inoculation with Rhizobium + PSB over no seed inoculation.
