Abstract:
An experiment was conducted on “Impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on Soil Physico-Chemical properties, Growth and Yield attributes of Green gram (Vigna radiata L.) var. MH-421” at research farm of soil science and agricultural chemistry, Sam Higginbottom university of agriculture, technology and sciences, Prayagraj, during the Zaid season of 2021. In the present investigation experiment 9 treatments T₁ (Farmers practice inorganic fertiliser [RDF: N. P. K.]), T₂ (RDF @ 100% + FYM @ 50%), T₃ (RDF @ 100% + FYM @ 100%), T₄ (RDF @ 100%+ POULTRY MANURE @ 50%), T₅ (RDF @ 100%+ POULTRY MANURE @ 100%), T₆ (RDF @ 100%+ NEEM CAKE @ 50%), T₇ (RDF @ 100%+ NEEM CAKE @ 50%), T₈ (RDF @ 100%+ CROP RESIDUE @ 50%) and T₉ (RDF @ 100% + CROP RESIDUE @ 100%), were laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Green gram was taken for study and the pre sowing soil sample analysis and soil is sandy loam in texture, medium to high nitrogen with deficiency of micro nutrients. The results revealed that the Yield (grain and biological yield) and their attributing characteristics of green gram respond significantly with the different treatment combination. The highest grain (11.19 q ha^-1) and highest C:B ratio was (1:1:60) was obtained in T₉ - (RDF @ 100% + CROP RESIDUE @ 100%). The treatment combination T₉ - (RDF @ 100% + CROP RESIDUE @ 100%) gave the best result in terms of yield and their attributing characteristics.
