Abstract
A field experiment was carried out on Pusa Navbahar variety of cluster bean during summer season of 2019 at College farm, College of Horticulture, Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural University, Jagudan, Dist. Mehsana, Gujarat, India. Chemical based farming is very common practice among growers which has very serious effect on human health. Overcome the ill effect of hazardous farming, present experiment has been under taken with sixteen treatments having the various combinations of organic sources of nutrients (FYM, vermicompost and neem cake) along with RDF (20:40: 00 kg/ha NPK) as a control. Treatments were replicated thrice in a randomized block design. Analysis of variance showed differences among different treatments for quality traits and significant variations for soil nutrient status (available N, P2O5 & K2O) as well as economics of the treatments. However, treatment T6 [75% N (15 kg/ha) through FYM + Rhizobium + PSB + KSM] has significant influences on available nitroge
Keywords
Organic sources, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L., Soil nutrient status, economics, B:C ratio etc.
Conclusion
It could be concluded that for harnessing maximum green pod length, quality traits, soil nutrient status (N, P2O5 & K2O) and economic return as well as benefit cost ratio of cluster bean with the application of 75% N through FYM (15 kg per ha) and Rhizobium, PSB & KSM each @ 2.5 litre/hectare is beneficial
