Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2020 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil was sandy loam in texture, low in organic carbon and medium in available nitrogen, phosphorous and low in potassium. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice. The results showed that viz: number of siliquae per plant (144.1), seeds per siliquae (41.4) and test weight (3.3 g), Maximum seed yield (17.2 q/ha), stover yield (58.1 q/ha) and harvest index (22.8%) were significantly recorded with the application of Boron-2kg/ha + D₁-26-October-2020 compared to all other treatments. However, the maximum gross returns (103200.00 INR/ha), net returns (68241.00 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (1.95) was significantly recorded significantly with the application of Boron 2 kg/ha + D₁ -26 October 2020 as compared to all other treatments.
