Abstract:
During the cropping season of July to September 2021, a field experiment was undertaken at Cherukumpalem village, Atchempet Mandal, Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, to evaluate the performance of greengram by foliar spraying of various liquid organic and inorganic fertilizers together with 75% recommended dose of fertilizer. The experiment was set up using a Randomized Block Design with ten treatments and three replication. Among the ten treatments performed, foliar application of panchagavya @ 3% with 75% recommended dose of fertilizer was determined to be the best and had a significant impact on all growth and yield attributes of greengram. The tallest plant (58.5cm) higher number of branches (6.2), higher LAI (4.65), maximum DMP (3765 kg ha^-1) and maximum seed yield (1365 kg ha^-1) were observed in this treatment. Next to panchagavya, the second best treatment was foliar application of nanourea @ 0.5% along with 75% recommended dose of fertilizer which also significantly influenced all growth and yield parameters of greengram.
