Effect of Zinc and Molybdenum on Growth, Yield Attributes, Yield and Protein in Grain on Summer Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.)
Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the Zaid season 2016 at the Crop Research farm of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Allahabad (U.P.) to Field evaluation of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) under Agro-climatic zone of Allahabad. The experiment was conducted to find out the effect of different levels of zinc and molybdenum on growth and yield of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) laid out in RBD with 9 treatment and 3 replications. The treatment consisted of three levels of zinc (0, 5 and 7.5 kg ha-1), three levels of molybdenum (0, 0.5 and 1.0 kg ha-1) treatment had significantly the highest plant height (29.29 and 30.51 cm at 45 and 60 DAS), number of branches (7.40 and 7.40 at 45 and 60 DAS), Crop growth rate (0.30, 0.85 and 4.91g m-2day-1 at 0-15, 15-30 and 45-60 DAS) except at significantly higher value 1.35 at 30-45 DAS, protein content in grain (24.70 %) and grain yield(1.18 t ha-1). However significantly higher straw yield (4.14 t ha-1) in (T6) R.D.F + Zinc 5 kg ha-1 + Molybdenum 1.0 kg ha-1.
