tailieunhanh - Nutrient management in Indian bean (Lablab purpureus L.) under south Gujarat condition

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 on vertisols of Navsari, Gujaratto study the Nutrient management in Indian bean (Lablab purpureus L.) under south Gujarat condition. Almost all the growth and yield attributes such as plant height at 60 DAS and at harvest, number of branches per plant at 60 DAS and at harvest, dry matter accumulation per plant at 60 DAS and at harvest, number of inflorescences per plant, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, length of pod and 100 seed weight at harvest were recorded significantly higher with application of 125% RDF through inorganic fertilizer over 100% RDF. Similarly, seed (728kg/ha) and stover yield (1484 kg/ha) of crop were also noted significantly higher with application of 125% RDF than 100% RDF. An application of 2 t/ha biocompost resulted in significantly higher seed yield and stover yield(727 kg/ha and1490 kg/ha, respectively) over other treatments because of significant enhancement in growth and yield attributes under the same treatment(2 t/ha biocompost).Foliar application of 1% banana pseudostem enrich sap to Indian bean at 30 and 60 DAS was resulted in significantly higher growth and yield attributes over without foliar spray (control),ultimately resulted in significantly higher seed and stover yield of Indian bean as well as higher economic returns. | Nutrient management in Indian bean (Lablab purpureus L.) under south Gujarat condition
