Abstract:
The present study was entitled on “Effect of integrated nutrient management on soil health, growth and yield of black gram (Vigna mungo. L) var. Indra Urad-1”. The field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2021-22 at the NAI, SHUATS in randomized block design with three replications, nine treatments with control. Based on the mean performances T₉ [Neem cake @ 100% + RDF @ 100%] was found the best for black gram yield attribute and yield. Observations were recorded such as plant height (cm), plant population; number of leaves plant^-1 and yield attributes number of pods plant^-1, pod length and seeds pod^-1, biological yields of black gram. With application of recommended dose of fertilizer @ 100% gave maximum plant height 57.37cm at 60 DAS, number of leaves 26.60 plant^-1 and number of pods plant^-119.54 in treatment T₉ as compared to others. The biological yield was maximum in T₉ of 3498 kg ha^-1 was recorded significantly. Interaction effect of integrated nutrient management was significant for all characters. Thus, it indicates that the process of integrated nutrient management is the better option for Physio-chemical Analysis of Soil to achieve with growth and yield attributes of black gram.
