Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Horticultural Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, BA College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand with a view to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of Indian bean (Dolichos lablab L.) cv. Gujarat papadi 1 during the year 2021-22. The experiment was arranged in Randomized Block Design with three replications having ten treatments. The results revealed that significantly maximum plant height 164.21, 179.03 and 196.17 cm at 50, 70 and 90 DAS, respectively, maximum number of branches 5.07, 8.00 and 9.79 at 50, 70 and 90 DAS, respectively, The maximum leaf area 197.05, 224.05 and 231.38 cm² and leaf area index 0.050, 0.055 and 0.057 at 50, 70 and 90 DAS, respectively was recorded with the application of 60% RDN through chemi. Ferti. + 40% N through castor cake + soil application of jivamrut @ 500 l/ha. The yield attributes viz. number of pods/plant (244.06), pod length (5.95 and 6.09 cm at third and fifth picking, respectively), pod width (1.57 and 1.50 cm at third and fifth picking, respectively), average ten green pod weight at third and fifth picking (28.69 and 29.95gm, respectively) and pod yield (9.36 kg/plot & 9.63 t/ha) were recorded higher with the treatment 60% RDN through chemi. Ferti. + 40% N through castor cake + soil application of jivamrut @ 500 l/ha.
