Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the agronomy farm of College of Agriculture, Dr Balasaheb Sawant Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth, Dapoli, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra to study the effect of integrated nutrient management (INM) on yield and economics of lablab bean in lateritic soil of Konkan region of Maharashtra. The experiment was laid out in Split Plot Design (SPD) comprising fifteen treatment combinations replicated thrice with an absolute control which was laid out of experimental plot to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield and economics of lablab bean as a test crop during Rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22. The result of the present investigation indicated that for getting maximum yield of lablab bean and fetching highest net returns as well as for improving the soil health, the equal integration of RDN through fertilizers and RDN through poultry manure (PM) with a blend of seed inoculations of phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) @ 5 mL kg^-1 and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) @ 10 g kg^-1 seed (F₅B₃) was found to be beneficial in lateritic soils of Konkan during Rabi season.
