Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36%), available Nitrogen (171.48 kg/ha), available Phosphorus (15.2 kg/ha) and available Potassium (232.5 kg/ha). The treatments were are Spacing’s of 20x10, 30x10 and 40x10 cm and Sulphur at 10, 20 and 30 kg/ha. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The results showed that viz: maximum plant height (45.80 cm), nodules per plant (1.67), dry weight (26.08 g), were recorded significantly in the treatment of T₆ which is with spacing of 30x10 cm + Sulphur at 30 kg/ha. The maximum Pods/plant (199.26), Seeds/pod (1.99), Test weight (25.82 g), higher seed yield (1.67 t/ha), stover yield (2.49 t/ha) and Harvest index of (40.12 %) were recorded in the treatment T₆ is with the spacing of 30x10 cm+ Sulphur at 30 kg/ha as compared to all other treatments. However, the maximum gross returns (10,0200.00 INR/ha), net returns (54154.00) and B:C ratio (1.17) was significantly recorded in the T6 with Spacing’s of 30x10 cm and Sulphur at 30, kg/ha as compared to all other treatments.
