There were ten treatments which were replicated thrice along with control plotunder Randomized Block Design. The experimental results revealed that significantly highest plant height (69.91 cm), number of nodules (4.63/plant), dry weight (25.31 g/plant), pods/plant (59.47), seeds per pod (1.87), test weight (232.66), seed yield (3053.02 kg/ha), stover yield (5142.53 kg/ha) and harvest index (37.25%) were recorded with 30 cm x 10 cm + panchagavya (4%). Maximum gross returns (Rs. 157593/ha), net returns (Rs. 125383/ha) and benefit: cost ratio (3.89) were obtained highest in the treatment combination of 30 cm x 10 cm + panchagavya (4%).
