Abstract: This study investigates the impact of seriwaste application on the yield and yield parameters of blackgram (Vigna mungo). Conducted in a controlled environment, the experiment assessed various concentrations of NPK, FYM and Seriwaste on the effect of plant height (cm), pod formation, seed formation and overall yield. Results indicated that addition of seri waste significantly enhanced soil fertility, leading to improved plant performance. T3 (NPK + 50% FYM + 50% Seri waste) recorded maximum plant height (22.50 cm), no. of branches per plant (5.25), no. of clusters per plant (4.75), pod length (3.67 cm), no. of pods per plant (16), no. of seeds per pod (7), 100 seeds weight (4.2 g), yield per plant (4.69 g) compared to other concentrations. The findings underscore the potential of utilizing agricultural waste to optimize crop production and promote eco-friendly farming practices.
