Abstract

The Purpose of this study was to determine the “Impact of Nitrogen Levels and Application of Boron on Yield and Growth of Greengram (Vigna radiata L.)” var. SAMRAT. During the kharif of 2020, a field research was undertaken at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Nitrogen and Boron are important elements for improving output and growth. The treatments consisted of nitrogen viz. N1 - 15 kg per ha, N2 - 20 kg per ha, N3 - 25 kg per ha and boron viz. B1 - 1 kg at 15 DAS (Soil application), B2 - 2 kg at 25 DAS (Soil application), B3 - 0.2% at 35 DAS (Foliar application). The trail was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments which were replicated thrice. The results showed that growth attributes viz. number of pods per plant (25.33), number of seeds per pod (6.67) and test weight (23.10) were recorded maximum with application of Nitrogen 25 kg/ha + Boron 0.2% foliar application at 35 DAS. However, seed yield (1260.44 kg/ha), haulm yie

Keywords

Greengram, Nitrogen (N), Boron (B), Foliar Application, Growth and Yield.

Conclusion

It can be established that applying 25 kg N/ha + Boron 0.2 percent foliar spray at 35 DAS to generate higher yield in greengram for optimum agricultural output is the best for rainfed greengram production.
