The present investigation on performance of black gram as influenced by soil and foliar application of nutrients on plant growth parameters was conducted in clay loam soil at our college farm, Alpine Institute of Technology, Premnagar, Dehradun (Affiliated to Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University, Srinagar Uttarakhand) during summer season of 2021. The trail was conducted in RBD design with three replications consisting of 8 treatments. The results revealed that, among the various treatments, maximum plant height and number of branches per plant were recorded in T6 at 30, 45,60 and at harvest (16.88 cm, 36.43cm, 52.75 cm and 64.13cm) and (4.19, 5.23, 7.66 and 8.88) respectively.

Blackgram, macro and micronutrients, plant height and number of braches per plant

It was evident that, field emergence was not significantly influenced by combined application of macro and micro nutrients, but it was showed significant influence on plant height and number of branches plant-1 of blackgram in sandy loam soils of Dehradun.
