Abstract:
Background: A field experiment was conducted to know the effect of organic manure on growth and yield of black gram 2023. The experiment was laid out in a RBD (Randomized block design) consisting of ten treatments with 3 replications. Treatments included were three levels of fish extract (5 ml, 15 ml, 25ml/ ltr water) and three levels of neem spray (20 ml, 25 ml, 35 ml/ ltr water). The statistical analysis indicated that growth was significantly influenced with application of fish extract and neem spray. The characters plant height, number of branches per plant, first flowering, number of nodules and number of leaves per plant, exhibited best results with the treatment T9. Present investigation, therefore, indicated better response of the plants towards application of Fish meal 25 ml/ltr water + Neem spray 35 ml/ltr water which was found to be most remunerative with regard to their growth of black gram.
