Integrated nutrient management is anticipated as an environmentally friendly method toward sustainable agricultural development and optimum crop production with reduced environmental impacts. In the present study, pastel sulfur (SPA), powdered (SPO), sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB), free-living nitrogen-fixing (NFB), phosphate solubilizing (PSB), potassium (KSB) were applied. The experimental treatments included (1) SPA, (2) SPO, (3) SOB, (4) SPA + (5) SPO (6) SOB NFB PSB KSB, (7) (8) (9) (10) control. result demonstrated that application of biofertilizers increased soil bacterial population, photosynthetic pigment content, grain yield. highest pigments observed in KSB. greatest nitrogen fixation nodules active percentage recorded enhanced grain, plant, N, P, K contents compared maximum number pods per biological yield, 100-grain weight obtained from KSB Overall, could be a key strategy to maintain quality sustainability.
