Effect of Phosphorus and Bio-fertilizers on Yield, Nutrient Content and Uptake of Urban [Vigna mungo (l.) Hepper]

Effect of biofertilizers and phosphorus on growth parameters and yield of Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) in sandy loam soil of Prayagraj

“…This might be due to better accumulation of dry matter throughout the plant's vegetative and reproductive phase, which enhances the physiological and metabolic activity and growth by assimilating the available nutrients at higher rate and facilitating more photosynthesis, resulting in higher crop growth rate (Gupta et al, 2006). Similar results are in line with those of Biswas and Patra (2007) and Yadav et al (2017). Observation regarding relative growth rate (g/g/day) was found non-significant through all growth stages.…”

“…Another reason might be due to phosphate solubilizing action of PSB and phosphorus mobilizing effect of VAM fungi which boosted accessible phosphorus to the plant roots by converting insoluble phosphorus into usable form. Due to the cumulative action of two biofertilizers this attributed to better availability and uptake of phosphorus for augmenting the growth in terms of plant height, plant dry weight and number of branches (Yadav et al, 2017). Similar findings were also supported by Sammauria et al (2009); Pramanik and Bera (2012) and Nadeem et al (2017).With the progression of crop stage, number of branches gradually increased and significantly influenced by various treatments (Table 1).…”

​​Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Quality, Yield, Nutrient Content and Uptake of Black Gram (Vigna mungo L.) in the South-eastern Plain of Rajasthan

“…Among the biofertilizer, the highest nitrogen content in seed and straw were found in treatment receiving Rhizobium + LMn16 (3.31%, 1.69%) followed by Rhizobium (3.30%, 1.61%) and LMn16 (3.28%, 1.57%), respectively. Similarly, phosphorus and potassium in seed was noticed highest in application of Rhizobium + LMn16 (0.48%, 0.29%) followed by Rhizobium (0.46%, 0.28%) and in LMn16 (0.38%, 0.23%) respectively (Kumar and Jat, 2010;Yadav et al, 2017). The results further indicated that maximum level of micronutrients like zinc was recorded in seed and straw with application of 125% RDF followed by 100% RDF, while minimum value of zinc content was observed in 75% RDF (Table 2).…”

Improved Pulse Production Technology - A Strategic Tool for Doubling Farmer’s Income: A Review

“…While phosphorus is the major limiting nutrient and key element involved in growth and development of pulses. Phosphorus plays a major role in stimulating root development which increases number of root nodules, consequently increasing N2 fixation and also involved in metabolic processes which in turn contributes towards sink development (Yadav et al 2017). Application of 60 kg/ha phosphorus helped in realizing higher yield in pigeon pea (Ade et al 2018).…”
