Crops in dryland areas suffer due to moisture stress and low native soil organic matter and nutrient status. Use of integrated nutrient management practices in loamy sand soils in Haryana showed that inoculation of bacterial biofertilizers like Azospirillum and Pseudomonas on pearlmillet, wheat and mustard gave 10-22% increase in yield in grain yield when applied alongwith 75% recommended doses of nitrogen. Fifty two demonstration trials on mixed biofertilizer inoculation in pearlmillet in farmers fields (District of Hisar, Bhiwani, Jajjhar, Mahendergarh and Rewari) resulted in an average increase of 5% increase in grain yield and 6% increase in fodder yield at 75% RDN, giving an additional monetary return to the farmers of Rs. 780/ha (net return).
