Efficacy of Novel Organic Liquid Nutrient and Novel Plus Organic Liquid Nutrient on Quantitative Traits of Indian Bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet]

Abstract

Background: Indian bean is established as a prime vegetable crop in India and it attracts a huge market in its seasonal time period due to its multiple uses. Using of organic liquid fertilizer is demand of recent era. Concept of application of organics is vegetable crops is recent trend as it improves yield and helps to extent growth without any adverse effects on ecosystem.
 Methods: In this experiment, two organic based nutrient formulations viz. Novel organic liquid nutrient and Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient were applied as a foliar spray at 30 days after sowing and 60 days after sowing on Indian bean variety Gujarat Navsari Indian Bean 22 and evaluated its effects on different growth parameters and yield parameters. The experiment was arrayed with Randomized Block Design having three replications and seven treatments i.e., No spray (T1), 0.5 % Novel organic liquid nutrient (T2), 1.0 % Novel organic liquid nutrient (T3), 1.5 % Novel organic liquid nutrient (T4), 0.5 % Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient (T5), 1.0 % Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient (T6) and 1.5 % Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient (T7).
 Result: Treatment T6 executed maximum plant height and highest number of branches. Maximum fresh weight (30.87 g per plant) and dry weight (8.01 g per plant) were also registered under the same treatment T6. Similar treatment has proved to be superior for acquiring highest pod weight, maximum number of pods per plant, pod yield per plant and pod yield per individual plot. In terms of apex total pod yield per plot (3,641 g) and pod yield per hectare (5,619 kg) treatment T6 have performed the best as well. Predominantly, application of 1.0 % Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient on Indian bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] as a foliar spray had positive effects in aspects of growth as well as yield parameters.

Impact of organic nutrients on yield and quality of cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.]

“…More photosynthates were naturally created by the larger leaf area and the transit of these photosynthates from source to sink may have contributed to the rise in the number of clusters per plant. These results are in close conformity with the findings Champaneri (2021) [2] in Indian bean and Manani (2019) [5] in cluster bean, respectively. The increase in length of green pod may be due to presence of gibberellic acid in novel plus, which may speed up the cell elongation process that is responsible for the reported results (Naik, 2006) [6] .…”

The Implications of Growth-Regulating Substances on Growth and Yield Traits of Cauliflower

“…It was also reported that GA3 increasing plasticity of the cell wall followed by hydrolysis of starch to sugars which lowers the water potential of cell, resulting in the entry of water into cell causing elongation. These results are in accordance with other researchers viz., [7,8] in cauliflower; [9,10,11] in cabbage in cluster bean and [12] in Indian bean.…”

Assessment of Various Uniformity Aspects under Surface Drip Irrigation System in Tomato

“…Horticulture especially vegetable crops tribute vital contribution in this agricultural GDP which makes it more reliable crop. Vegetables are good source of vitamins, minerals and other beneficiary elements which makes it protective food for mankind and considering this fact Indian council of medical research (ICMR) have recommended a daily uptake of 300 g vegetables/day including 125 g green leafy vegetables, 100 g root vegetables and 75 g other vegetables [2]. Contribution of agriculture towards Indian GDP can be increase with right selection of crop and applying accurate amount of irrigation water.…”
