Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted in Department of Plant Physiology, Agricultural Biochemistry, Medicinal and Aromatic Plant in five different treatmentsT₁, Control, T₂, RDF NPK ha^-1, T_3, 50% dose of NPK ha^-1+ Rhizobium @ 5kgha^-1, T_4, 50% dose of NPK ha^-1+ + Vermicompost @ 2t ha^-1, T₅, 50% dose of NPK ha^-1+ + Vermicompost @ 2t ha^-1+ Rhizobium @ 5kg ha^-1. Among all the treatment significantly higher in the pod formation stage (39.90) at the first date of sowing with the treatment S(43). The number of leaves is significantly higher at the first date of sowing in the pod stage (22.90) with the treatment S₅ (25.17). The higher number of branchesS₅ (13.50), S₅ (117.33) at the pod formation stage in the first date of sowing (108.40) shows the significantly highest leaf area, The absolute growth rate is higher in vegetative stage (0.92) and decreases gradually up to the pod stage (0.17) of the plant. The crop growth rate in vegetative stage was higher (0.06) and it gradually decreases to pod formation stage (0.03), chlorophyll content was higher in first date of sowing (51.35), the highest percent of nitrogen (0.04), phosphorus (0.03) and potassium (0.13) uptake were found in first date of sowing and amongst the treatments S₅ shows the highest uptake of all the macronutrients, first pod initiation to harvest (7.36) is higher in third date of sowing and number of pod per plant is higher in first date of sowing (17.52), number of cluster per plant (11.86) and the number of flower per cluster (5.46) are higher in first date of sowing, S₅ shows the highest number of pod per cluster (5.43) and pod length (24.57) respectively. The green pod yield is highest in first date of sowing (114.00) with the treatment S₅ (122.67) followed by S4 (117.67).
