Abstract

A field experiment entitled “Effect of soil and foliar application of micronutrients on growth, yield and quality of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.)” was conducted at Agronomy farm, S.K.N College of Agriculture, Jobner during Rabi, 2013-14. The experiment included 16 treatment combinations comprising 4 levels of soil application (control, ferrous sulphate @ 50 kg/ha, zinc sulphate @ 25 kg/ha and borex @ 1.5 kg/ha) and four level of foliar spray (control, ferrous sulphate @ 0.5%, zinc sulphate @ 0.5 % and borex @ 0.2%). These were evaluated under Randomized block design with three replications. The result indicate that among the treatments applied as soil, application of zinc sulphate @ 25 kg/ha being at par with ferrous sulphate @ 50 kg/ha recorded significantly seed, straw, biological and protein yield of mungbean over control and when foliar application significantly maximum increase grain, straw, biological and protein yield were recorded with foliar spray of zinc sulphate @ 0.5 % over control. The soil application of micronutrients results revealed that The significantly highest organic carbon (20.9 g/kg) and availanle-N (152.65 kh/ha) in soil was recorded with soil application of zinc sulphate @ 25 kg/ha (T2) followed by ferrous sulphate @ 50 kg/ha(T1), respectively. The available P and available K were found non-significant with soil application of micronutrients. The significantly highest ferrous content recorded with the application of 50 kg/ha FeSO4 and the borex content was significantly increased with the application of borex @ 1.5 kg/ha. When foliar application of micronutrients available N, P and K content in soil were found non-significant and DTPA-Zn, Fe and B were found significantly

Conclusion

The result indicate that among the treatments applied as soil application of zinc sulphate @ 25 kg/ha being at par with ferrous sulphate @ 50 kg/ha recorded significantly seed, straw, biological and protein yield of mungbean over control and when foliar application significantly maximum increase grain, straw, biological and protein yield were recorded with foliar spray of zinc sulphate @ 0.5 % over control. The soil application of micronutrients results revealed that The significantly increased in organic carbon and availanle-N, DTPA-Fe, Zn and extractable-B in soil and available P and available K were found non-significant with soil application of micronutrients. When foliar application of micronutrients available N, P and K content in soil were found non-significant and DTPA-Zn, Fe and B were found significantly
