Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand during summer seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21 to evaluate re sidual influence of FYM, sulphur and zinc (applied to preceding maize crop in maize -greengram cropping sequence) on growth, yield and quality of Summer greengram under middle Gujarat condition. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with factorial concept, comprising eighteen treatment combinations i.e. two levels of FYM (0 and10 t FYM/ha), three levels of sulphur (0, 20 and 40 kg S/ha) and three levels of zinc (0, 2.5 and 5 kg Zn/ha) with three replications. The results revealed that residual effect of 10 t FYM/ha, 40 kg S/ha and 5 kg Zn/ha significantly increased plant height at harvest, seed yield, haulm yields as well as protein content (%) in seed during individual year and in pooled results were significantly influenced by the various levels of FYM, sulphur and zinc. FYM x sulphur interaction was found significant in case of seed and haulm yield during the year 2020, 2021 and pooled mean, sulphur x zinc interaction was found significant in case of protein content in seed during 2021 and pooled. All the parameters were increased with increasing levels of FYM, sulphur and zinc.
