Abstract:
The findings of the present experiment entitled, “Effect of Vermicompost, Neemcake and Biofertilizers on growth and yield of Green gram (Vigna radiata L.)”, carried out during the zaid season of 2021 at the, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loamy in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36%), available N (171.48kg/ha), available P (15.2kg/ha) and available K (232.5kg/ha). The experiment was conducted in Randomized Block Design consisting of 10 treatment combinations with 3 replications and was laid out with the different treatments allocated randomly in each replication. Application of Vermicompost (2.5t/ha) + Rhizobium (10gm/kg seed) + PSB (10gm/kg seed) recorded maximum plant height (37.51cm), Number of branches per plant (4.43), Number of nodules/plant (20.67), Dry weight (g/plant) (4.59), No. of pods/plant (30.37), Seeds per pod (6.73), Test weight(g) (37.49), Grain yield (1555.00 kg/ha), Stover yield (4009.21 kg/ha), Biological yield (5564.20 kg/ha) and Harvest index (27.95%).
