Effect of Phosphorus and Bio-Organics on Yield and Soil Fertility Status of Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek Under Semi- Arid Condition of Rajasthan, India
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2015. The results of the study indicated the application of phosphorus up to 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 recorded significantly higher number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed and straw yield, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake in seed and straw, protein content in seed, microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in soil as compared to absolute control and 20 kg P2O5 ha-1 but was at par with 60 kg P2O5 ha-1. Application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 represented an increase of grain yield over control and 20 kg P2O5 ha-1 by 32.15 and 7.48 per cent, respectively. Application of PM @ 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium +PSB significantly increased the pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and seed and straw yield, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in seed and straw and their total uptake, protein content in seed, microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in soil over control, PM @ 2.5 t ha-1, PM @ 5 t ha-1 and PM @ 2.5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium +PSB. The application of bio-organics on grain yield was found significant and all the treatments of bio-organics were differed significantly. The application of PM @ 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium +PSB significantly higher the grain yield over control, PM @ 2.5 t ha-1, PM @ 5 t ha-1 and PM @ 2.5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium +PSB. PM applied @ 5 t ha-1 + Rhizobium + PSB significantly increased the grain yield by 52.63, 25.17, 7.15 and 15.20 per cent over B0, B1, B2 and B3, respectively.
