Effect of Various Microbial Inoculums on the Growth, Quality and Nutrient Uptake of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.)
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted at Technology Park of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Meerut (UP) to study the Growth, Quality, and Nutrient Uptake of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.) as Influenced by Different Microbial Inoculums during the kharif season of 2020. The experiment including ten treatments was conducted in RBD design and replicated thrice. The maximum values of growth attributes viz., Root length (15.7 cm), Root weight (1.4:1.06 fresh/dry g/plant), Effective nodules (41.5 no./plant), Nodules dry weight (96.3 mg/plant) and Grain yield (1106 kg/ha), Quality i.e., Protein content (25.4%), Protein yield (279.7 kg/ha) and nutrient content and uptake viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were recorded under NPK Consortia +ZSB, each @ 20 ml/kg followed by NPK Consortia @ 20 ml/kg. This shows that NPK Consortia with ZSB have better adoptability in growth, yield and quality of mung bean.
