Abstract:
The present investigation entitled "Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth, Yield and quality of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.)” was carried out at Crop Research Farm of National Post Graduate College, Barhalganj, Gorakhpur, (U P.) during zaid season on 2021 with the objective to study the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on growth, yield and quality of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.). The soil of the experimental field was silty loan in texture with low, medium and high in N, P and K, respectively. The experimental site is situated in subtropical zone in indo gangatic plains. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 7 treatment combinations and 3 replications. Green gram was sown on 28th March 2021 with treatment combinations viz. T1 – R D F, T2 - 50% F Y M + 50% D A P, T3 - 50% Vermicompost + 50% D A P, T4 - 50% Poultry manure + 50% D A P, T5 - 75% F Y M + 25% D A P, T6 - 75% Vermicompost + 25% D A P and T7 - 75% Poultry Manure + 25% D A P, respectively. The crop was harvested on 2nd April 2021. The result indicated that the treatment combination T7 - Poultry Manure 75% + D A P 25% was at par with T6 - Vermicompost 75% + D A P 25% and registered significantly superior in terms of plant height, number of branches per plant, dry weight, number of nodules per plant, number of grain per pod, number of pod per plant, grain yield, straw yield, gross return (Rs/ha) and net return (Rs/ha.), respectively over rest of the treatments. Integrated use of organic manures along with optimum doses of chemical fertilizers increased the growth parameters and yield of Green gram.
