To study the effect of varieties and biofertilizers on growth and yield of chickpea, an experiment was conducted at instructional farm of department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, AKS University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) during rabi season of 2020-21. The experiment consisted of randomize block design having factorial arrangement with three replications. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four chickpea varieties were tested are V₁- JG 63, V₂- JG 11, V₃- JG 14 and V₄- JG 36, while three levels of biofertilizers and treatments were B₁- Rhizobium, B₂- PSB and B₃- KSB application. Highest plant height (40.40 cm) and number of branches per plant (8.00) at 90 DAS while, number of pods per plant (34.73), number of grains per pods (2.60), seed index (20.70 g), grain yield (19.90 q/ha), stover yield (36.74 q/ha) and protein content (22.38 %) were recorded under the chickpea variety JG- 63 sown with biofertilizer of Rhizobium application.
