Abstract:
The present experiment entitled on “growth, yield and quality response of green gram (Vignaradiata L.). To phosphorus levels and vermicompost” was conducted at the experimental farm of department of Agronomy, faculty of Agriculture Science and technology, AKS University, Satna, (M.P.) during the Kharif season of 2021-22. The investigation was aimed to assess the productivity of green gram under the application of different phosphorus levels and vermicompost and their subsequent effect on plant growth parameters, yield attributes and yield as well as economics and quality of the produce. The soil of experimental field was sandy clay loam in texture, neutral in reaction with normal EC and analyzing medium in OC, N, P and K content. During crop season, the rainfall was 104.08 mm and other weather conditions were normal for better growth and development of the crop. A set of twelve phosphorus levels and vermicompost treatments were tested in randomized block design with factorial concept 3 replications. Green gram (var. Pusa Ratna) was sown at 30 cm row spacing on July 20th 2021. All the fertilizers and nutrients were applied as per the treatments. Other agronomic practices were performed in all the treatments as per recommended package of practices. Based upon this experiment it is concluded that application of phosphorus @ 60kg/ha with combined application of vermicompost @ 5t/ha (P3V3) recorded the maximum and significantly highest grain yield (15.58q/ha) and net monetary returns (₹ 80657.00 Rs/ha), while the highest B:C ratio of 3.38: 1. Hence, it can be concluded that application of phosphorus @ 60 kg/ha with vermicompost @ 3t/ha obtained B:C ratio >3.80.0, can be used as an remunerative strategies and can be adopted in semi-arid eastern plain zone of Madhya Pradesh.
