Abstract:
The experiment was conducted to find out effect of cow urine foliar sprays on growth, yield and quality of summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.). Result show that The foliar spray of deshi cow urine at 20% concentration registered significantly maximum seed yield (9.98 q ha^-1) and straw yield at harvest (15.98 q ha^-1) than rest of the treatments. However, it was at par with treatment of foliar spray of deshi cow urine at 15% recorded seed and straw yield (9.51 q hq^-1) and (15.70 q ha^-1) respectively. The treatment without foliar spray (control) recorded significantly lowest seed and straw yield (7.53 q ha^-1) and (14.61 q ha^-1). The foliar application of deshi cow urine at 20% concentration at flowering and pod development stage of crop gave maximum gross monetory returns (51996 ₹ ha^-1), net monetory returns (16496 ₹ ha^-1) as well as benefit: cost ratio (1.46) than rest of the treatments.
