Study the Response of Different Phosphorus Levels and Frequency of Boron Levels on Growth and Yield of Greengram
Year: 2017
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during Zaid season, 2015 at the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHIATS, Allahabad (U.P.) to concluded the response of different phosphorus levels and frequency of boron levels on growth and yield of summer Greengram (Vigna radiata L.) in Randomized Block Design with twelve treatments replicated thrice. Among the different phosphorus levels and frequency of boron levels under in treatment T11 i.e., N3(20:60:20 NPK) + 0.2% foliar spray of borax at 35DAS (pre-flowering) recorded maximum plant height (53.60cm), number of leaves plant-1 (21.16), number of branches plant-1 (6.76), number of nodules plant-1 (8.80), dry weight (24.82g), crop growth rate (0.53 g m-2 day-1), relative growth rate (0.04 g g-1 day-1), number of pods plant-1 (42.46), average number of grain pod-1 (13.40), pod length (10.80 cm), test weight (47.00 g), grain yield (1.62 t ha-1), straw yield (2.85 t ha-1), protein content (24.56%) and harvest index (36.15%). Whereas the lowest value (48.26 cm,18.93 plant-1, 6.20 plant-1, 5.53 plant-1, 20.02 g, 0.39 g m-2 day-1, 0.03 g g-1 day-1, 30.40 plant-1, 7.73 pod-1, 8.13 cm, 41.06 g, 0.99 t ha-1, 2.06 t ha-1, 20.36 % and 32.58 % respectively) in the treatment T1 i.e., N1 (20:40:20 NPK).
