Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the Research farm of Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute at Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences (SHUATS), Prayagraj (U.P.) during Kharif season of 2023. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisting of 10 treatments combination [50 % N through FYM + 50 % N through Vermicompost + Panchagavya (3%) at flowering and 15 DAS, 50 % N through FYM + 50 % N through Vermicompost + Jeevamrit (10%) at flowering and 30 DAS, 50 % N through FYM + 50 % N through Vermicompost + Control, 50 % N through Vermicompost + 50 % N through Neemcake + Panchagavya (3%) at flowering and 15 DAS, 50 % N through Vermicompost + 50 % N through Neemcake + Jeevamrit (10%)at flowering and 30 DAS, 50 % N through Vermicompost + 50 % N through Neemcake + Control, 50 % N through FYM + 50 % N through Neemcake + Panchagavya (3%) at flowering and 15 DAS, 50 % N through FYM + 50 % N through Neemcake + Jeevamrit (10%) at flowering and 30 DAS, 50 % N through FYM + 50 % N through Neemcake + Control, Control (100 % RDF)] with 3 replications. The results showed that application of 50 % N through Vermicompost + 50 % N through Neemcake + Control recorded the significantly higher growth parameters viz., Plant height (62.02 cm), No. of nodules/plant (16.21), Dry weight (24.17g), Crop Growth Rate (3.88g/m2/day), and Relative Growth Rate (0.04g/g/day) and yield attributes viz., pods per plant (33.90), seeds per pod (8.82), test weight (35.49g), seed yield (8.74q/ha), haulm yield (22.95q/ha), harvest index (37.89 %), as compare to other treatment combinations

Conclusion

Based on the experiment results, it can be concluded that in Prayagraj's sub-tropical and semi-arid climate, greengram should be fertilized with 50% N through vermicompost + 50% N through neemcake + control in the summer to maintain soil fertility and increase yield and profit.
