Effect of FYM, Phosphorus and PSB on Growth, Yield Attributes, Yield and Economics of Kharif Green Gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)

This experiment was carried out for two consecutive years (2020 and 2021) during Kharif season at Student’s Instructional Farm (SIF) of Department of Agronomy, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India to assess the effect of Farm Yard Manure (FYM), phosphorus levels and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on growth and yield of Green gram with variety Shweta (K.M. 2241) was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) and replicated thrice. This experiment included 20 treatment combinations, the levels of FYM viz., control (F0), 1.0 t (F1), 2.0 t (F2) and 3.0 t (F3) and levels of phosphorus viz., PSB only (P1), 20 kg P2O5 (P2), 20 kg P2O5 + PSB (P3), 40 kg P2O5 (P4) and 40 kg P2O5 + PSB (P5). The result of this study showed the interaction effect of FYM, phosphorous & PSB were non-significant. In the different levels of FYM, the 3.0 tons ha-1 FYM resulted in significantly higher growth attributes viz., plant height (40.60cm) at maturity, No. of branches plant-1 (4.95) at maturity, number of nodules plant-1 (24.85) at 60 DAS and dry weight of nodules plant-1 (14.34g) at 60 DAS, yield attributes viz., number of pods plant-1 (14.70), weight of pod plant-1 (7.44g), pod length (6.55cm) , and test weight (41.36g), yield viz. grain or seed yield (894kg ha-1) and quality parameters viz., protein content (23.90%), protein yield (214kg ha-1), nutrient contents i.e. nutrients uptake by grain and straw of Green gram compared to other treatments and control. Among the different levels of phosphorous & PSB, 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + PSB resulted the highest values of growth attributes viz., plant height (38.54cm) at maturity, No. of branches plant-1 (4.52) at maturity, number of nodules plant-1 (23.19) at 60 DAS and dry weight of nodules plant-1 (13.42g) at 60 DAS, yield attributes viz., number of pods plant-1 (13.99), weight of pod plant-1 (6.57g), pod length (6.35cm), and test weight (40.85g), yield viz. grain or seed yield (825 kg ha-1), and quality parameters viz., protein content (23.84%), protein yield (197kg ha-1), nutrient contents i.e. nutrients uptake by grain and straw. Thus, it is possible to maximize the growth attributes, yield attributes, yield and quality of Green gram with application 3.0 tons ha-1 FYM and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 + PSB.

“…Similar results have been reported by Singh et al [16] in summer green gram. Further, higher plant dry weight was observed with spacing (30cm×30cm) might be due to greater exposure to light and increased availability of nutrients to plants have also resulted in higher root dry weight on the plants.…”

A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology And Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P). To determine the “Impact of phosphorus levels and spacing on growth, yield and development of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp)”. To study treatment consisting of three phosphorus concentrations viz. 30, 40, 50 kg/ha and three levels of spacing 20cm×20cm, 30cm×30cm, 40cm×40cm. There were 10 treatments, each of which was replicated three times and laid out in a random block design. The results showed that treatment 8 [Phosphorus (50kg/ha) + (30cm×30cm)] recorded significantly higher plant height (60.3 cm), higher number of branches/plant (7.40), higher plant dry weight (16.47 g), higher number of nodules/plant (10.00). Whereas, maximum number of pods/plant (15.07), maximum number of seeds/pod (10.87), higher seed yield (1.05 t/ha), higher stover yield (1.60 t/ha), was recorded in treatment 8 [Phosphorus (50kg/ha) + (30cm×30cm)]. Similarly, maximum gross returns (89,050.00 INR/ha), higher net returns (57,832.40 INR/ha) and highest benefit cost ratio (1.85) was also recorded in treatment 8 [Phosphorus (50kg/ha) + (30cm×30cm)] as compared to other treatments.

“…Significant and higher seed index was with application of phosphorous (50kg/ha) might be due to increase photosynthetic activity of leaves, translocation of photosynthates from source to sink. Similar result was observed by Singh et al [16] in green gram. Further increase in seed index with the application of molybdenum (2kg/ha) might be due to the increase in phosphorus contents of the seed (phospholipids and phosphorus -protein) and also its involvement in many physiological processes in plants.…”
