The field experiment was conducted at research farm, Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute, Durgapura, Jaipur for two consecutive years during rabi seasons 2014-15 and 2015-16 on loamy sand soil. The twenty four treatment combinations consisting of four varieties (PBW 502, Raj 4037, WH 1105 and HD 2967) and six integrated nutrient management practices (Farmer’s practice, 100 % RDF, 100 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, 75 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB, 75 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB + ZnSO4 and 50 % RDF + 25 % N through organic manure + Azotobacter + PSB + ZnSO4) were tested in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Results showed that variety WH 1105 proved significantly superior over HD 2967 and PBW 502 varieties with respect to yield attributes (Effective tiller per metre row length, number of grains per spike, length of spike and test weight) and yield and closely followed by variety Raj 4037. Results further indicated that number of effective tillers, grains per spike, grain, straw and biological yields significantly increased with application of 100 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB over farmer’s practice but remained at par with 100 % RDF. Significantly higher net returns and B:C ratio was obtained with variety WH 1105 and application of 100 % RDF + Azotobacter + PSB independently.
