Effect of multi-nutrient fertilizer on growth and yield of green gram (Vigna radiata L.)

A field experiment was conducted on “Effect of multi-nutrient fertilizer on yield, nutrient uptake and quality of green gram. (Vigna radiata L.)” during kharif season of the year 2023-2024 at research farm, Department of Soil Science, College of Agriculture Latur. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and ten treatments with variety of green gram BM-2003-2.

The results in a nutshell indicated that the growth and yield were significantly influenced by the application multi-nutrient fertilizer on green gram. The growth parameters viz., plant height, number of branches, leaf area index, dry weight plant^-1 and no. of nodules plant^-1 were significantly increased with application of 100% RDF + Multi-nutrient fertilizer @187.5 Kg ha^-1 and found at par with treatment 75% RDF + Multi-nutrient fertilizer @187.5 Kg ha^-1.

Significantly higher grain yield ha^-1 and straw yield ha^-1 were recorded with application of 100% RDF + Multi-nutrient fertilizer @187.5 Kg ha^-1 and was found at par with application of 75% RDF + Multi-nutrient fertilizer @187.5 Kg ha^-1.
