Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the influence of spacing and organic manures on Mung bean (var. “NIDHI SAMRAT”) conducted during Kharif 2020 at SMOF (SHUATS Model Organic Farm) of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.). Spacing and Organic Manures are the important factors for increasing the production and economics The soil experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.4), low in organic carbon (0.45%), available P (27.0 kg/ha) and available K (313.6 kg/ha). With combination of spacing and organic manures viz: 30×10 cm2, 40×10 cm2, 50×10 cm2 and Vermicompost 4 t/ha, FYM 10 t/ha, Poultry manure 2 t/ha. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 9 treatments each replicated thrice. The results showed that viz: Plant height (50.04 cm), was recorded significantly higher with combination of spacing and organic manures. 30×10 cm2 + FYM 10 t/ha. Whereas, number of branches/plant (4.26), number of nodules/plant (45.80), dry weight

Keywords

Greengram, Spacing(s), Vermicopost, FYM, Poultry manure

Conclusion

Based on the findings it may be concluded that for optimum seed yield and economics, the performance of greengram at spacing of 30×10 cm2 and along with the organic manures FYM 10 t/ha is the best for rain fed conditions.
