The present experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisted of 6 treatments viz. (T1)-Absolute control,(T2 )-Farmer practice (50kg DAP/ha),(T3) RDF+ ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ Ammonium Molybdate 1.0g/kg seed+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /ha,(T4)-RDF+ ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /ha +Rhizobium+PSB (@Each 5g/kg seed) +Ammonium Molybdate 1.0g/kg seed,(T5)-50%RDF+ ZnSO4@25 kg/ha +FYM 2.5 t/ha+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /ha + Rhizobium+PSB (@Each 5g/kg seed) + Ammonium Molybdate 1.0g/kg seed + Mulching and(T6)-50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ slacked lime@25 Kg Ca(OH) 2 + Vermicompost 1.5t/ha + Rhizobium + *PSB (@Each 5g/kg seed) + Ammonium Molybdate1.0g/kg seed + Mulching. Variety JS 95-60 was used under experimentation which was conducted in clay loam soil during kharif seasons of 2010, 2011 and 2012 at ZARS Khargone (M.P). The effect of lime based integrated nutrient management and mulching on nodulation, its dry weight, nutrient contents in straw & seed at maturity and grain yield(kg/ha) were found to increase significantly and beneficial due to the application of 50% RDF + ZnSO4@25 kg/ha+ slacked lime@25Kg Ca(OH) 2 /ha + V.C. 1.5t/ha + B.F.+ A.M. + Mulching(T6) followed by treatment T4 and T5 ( Table 1) over other treatments.
