Effect of Date of Sowing and Leaf Mulching on Growth Attributes of Mung Bean under Custard Apple (Annona squamosa L.) Based Agri-Horti System
Year: 2023
Type: article
Abstract: A field study was carried out to evaluate the effects of date of sowing (24 July, 4 August, 14 August and 24 August) and leaf mulching (0 ton ha-1 and 5 ton ha-1) on growth of mungbean in Factorial Randomized Block Design replicated thrice. The growth attributed as plant height, number of trifoliate leaf/plant number of nodule/plant dry matter accumulation /plant were found significantly higher on 4 August sowing as comparison to other dates of sowing. All the growth attributes found significantly higher with the application of mulch 5 t/ha over o t/ha. The interaction of sowing on 4 August and application of 5 t/ha mulch were found more over other treatments in dry matter /plant and no. of nodule /plant. In nutshell, sowing on 4 August along with the application of 5 ton mulch/ha in mungbean was found good under custard apple based agri-horti system in Vindhyan region.
