Abstract:
The Experiment was conducted during Zaid, 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P) to study the Effect of Plant population and Organic manures on Growth and Yield of Greengram (Vigna radiata L.) The treatment consists of three different spacing (20cm x10cm, 30cm x10cm and 40cm x10cm) and three different Organic manures (FYM-10t/ha, Goatmanure-5t/ha, Poultry manure-2t/ha). The experiment was conducted by following a randomized block design with nine treatments and were replicated thrice. The results showed that significantly higher with the Variety of Greengram i.e., Jawahar-45 with treatment combination of Spacing 30cm x 10cm with Poultry manure @ 2t/ha at 90DAS showed the Growth parameters vig, Plant height (38.5cm), No. of branches/plant (5.81), No. of nodules/plant (25.60), Dry weight (6.86g), Crop Growth Rate (5.99g/m2/day), and Relative Growth Rate (0.06g/g/day). The Yield parameters vig, Pods per plant (39.7), Grain per pod (12.3), Test weight (38.40g), Grain yield (970.35 kg/ha), stover yield (1597.65 kg/ha), harvest index (38.29%), Gross return (119637.3 INR/ha), Net return (79062.30 INR/ha) and B:C ratio (1.94) were recorded superior with the application of Spacing 30x10cm + Poultry manure @ 2t/ha.
