Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, AKS University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) during kharif season of 2021-2022. The experiment consisted of randomize block design having Factorial arrangement in three replications. In this experiment, 12 treatment combinations including four different variety and biofertilizer viz., B₁- PSB, B₂- KSB, B₃- ZSB and B₄- Sagarika, while three green gram varieties were tested are V₁- Sikha (IPM-410), V₂- Samrat (PDM- 139) and V₃-Shital it was found that variety and biofertilizer significantly affected plant height, number of branches per plant, number of grains/pod, thousand grain weight, grain and Stover yield of green gram. Interaction effect between variety and biofertilizer significantly affect the plant height at 45 DAS and 60 DAS and number of branches per plant at 45 DAS and 60 DAS. Maximum plant height at 45 DAS and 60 DAS was recorded under treatment Shital (T₁₂, B₄V₃) with the respective values of 55.19 and 58.57 cm, respectively whereas, maximum number of branches per plant at 45 DAS and 60 DAS was recorded under the same treatment i.e., 8.00 and 9.93, respectively. Similarly, Interaction effect of variety and biofertilizer on yield parameters such as number of pods per plant (20.73), seed yield per hectare (17.06 q) and straw yield per hectare (29.00 q) were recorded maximum with the application of variety and biofertilizer at the T₁₂, B₄V₃.
