Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted at the Crop Research Center (CRC), School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior (M.P.) during the kharif season of 2019 with nine treatment combinations comprising three levels of RDF scheduling (0%, 50% and 100%) and three levels of Vermicompost (0, 1.0 and 2.0 t/ha) in Factorial Randomized Block design with three replications. The maximum yield (691.6 kg ha^‑1) was recorded with 100% RDF which was 44.1 and 25.0 per cent significantly higher to control (0% RDF) and 50% RDF treatments. Application of 1.0 and 2.0 t vermin compost recorded 40.8 and 67.8 per cent higher seed yield over control. Under different treatment combination of organic and inorganic fertilizers, seed yield of greengram was observed 371.4 to 840.8 kg ha^‑1 and maximum seed yield (840.8 kg ha^‑1) was recorded with F₃ x VC_­3 (100% RDF with 2.0 t VC ha^-1) which was significantly higher over rest of the treatment combinations. The maximum gross and net return was obtained with F₃ (100% RDF), VC₃ (2.0 t VC ha^-1) and its combination (F₃ x VC_­3) and these were higher than all other treatments.
