Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Regional Research Station, S. D. Agricultural University, Bhachau, Kachchh to evaluate the effect of different treatments on yield, nutrients uptake and physico-chemical properties of soil after harvest of moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia L.) during Kharif season of 2017-18, 2019-20 and 2020-21.These were eighteen treatment combinations comprising of two FYM levels [0 t/ha (F 0 ) and 2.5 t/ha (F 1 ) combined with three phosphorus levels [0 kg P 2 O 5 /ha (P 0 ), 20 kg P 2 O 5 /ha (P 1 ) and 40 kg P 2 O 5 /ha (P 2 )] along with three levels of nitrogen [0 kg N/ha (N 0 ), 20 kg N/ha (N 1 ) and 40 kg N/ha (N 2 )].Phosphorus applied in the form of PROM and nitrogen in form of urea.The experiment was laid out in factorial RBD with three replications.Seed and stover yields of moth bean were significantly increased by the FYM, phosphorus and nitrogen treatments.The increased in seed yield due to F 1 over F 0 (698 kg/ha) increased in seed yield by 13.46 per cent.The treatment P 2 and P 1 over P 0 (776 kg/ha) was 21.92 and 13.51 per cent, respectively and treatment N 2 and N 1 over N 0 (783 kg/ha) was increased 23.35 and 10.93, respectively.Similar trend in stover yield was noted by FYM, phosphorus and nitrogen treatments.The interaction of P X N effect was significant on seed and stover yields indicate that nutrient use efficiency of P was higher when phosphorus was applied along with organic FYM @ 2.5 t/ha and nitrogen @ 20 kg N/ha.Treatment combination F 1 P 2 N 2 (FYM @ 2.5 t/ha, 40 kg P 2 O 5 /ha and 20 kg N/ha) was obtained significantly higher nutrients uptake by seed and stover.Available nutrients in the soil after harvest are best in the F 1 P 2 N 2 (FYM @ 2.5 t/ha, 40 kg P 2 O 5 /ha and 20 kg N/ha) maintained the soil physico-chemical properties.
