To study the effect of different organic sources on yield attributes and yield of Green gram [Vigna radiata (L). Wilczek]

Abstract

A field experiment entitled “To study the effect of different organic sources on yield attributes and yield of Green gram [Vigna radiata (L). Wilczek]” was conducted on clay-loam soil during Kharif 2025 at the Instructional Farm of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, Rajasthan. The experiment comprised of 10 treatments of different organic sources and seed treatment i.e. control (T1), FYM @ 6 tha-1 + Seed treatment with Beejamrit @ 20 mlkg-1 (T2), FYM @ 6 tha-1+Seed treatment with Rhizobium @ 5 mlkg-1 (T3), FYM @ 6 tha-1 + Seed treatment with NPK Consortium @ 5ml kg-1 (T4), Vermicompost @ 2t ha-1 + Seed treatment with Beejamrit @ 20ml kg-1 (T5), Vermicompost @ 2t ha-1 + Seed treatment with Rhizobium @ 5ml kg-1 (T6), Vermicompost @ 2t ha-1 + Seed treatment with NPK Consortium @5 ml kg-1 (T7), Jeevamrit 1500 L ha-1 at 20 and 45 DAS + Seed treatment with Beejamrit @ 20 ml kg-1 (T8), Jeevamrit 1500 L ha-1at 20 and 45 DAS + Seed treatment with Rhizobium @ 5 ml kg-1 (T9) and Jeevamrit 1500 L ha-1 at 20 and 45 DAS + Seed treatment with NPK Consortium @ 5ml kg-1 (T10), which were replicated three times in randomized block design. The soil at the experimental site was slightly alkali reaction, medium in available nitrogen and available phosphorus and high in potassium. In the experiment data clearly show that’s application of organic sources significantly affect yield attributes, seed and haulm yield. Application of treatment Vermicompost @ 2t ha-1+ Seed treatment with NPK Consortium @5 ml kg-1 (T7) recorded maximum number of pods plant-1 (32.0), number of seeds pod-1 (8.33), test weight  (36.0 g), seed (993 kg ha-1), haulm (1583 kg ha-1) and biological yield (2576 kg ha-1).
