EFFECT OF FOLIAR SPRAY OF MICRONUTRIENTS ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF GREENGRAM (VIGNA RADIATA L. WILCZEK)

Abstract

during the Kharif season 2022-2023 with a to evaluate the effect of micro-nutrients treatments combination on seed yield & its attributing characters of green gram.The experimental material for present investigation comprised of 10 treatments of micronutrients combination applied in green gram variety IPM-205-7.The experimentation was laid out in Randomised Block Design (RBD) with three replications.The treatment comprised of T 0 (RDF + Water spray (Control); T 1 (RDF + Fe @ 0.5%); T 2 (RDF + Zn @ 0.5%); T 3 (RDF + Mn @ 0.5%); T 4 (RDF + B @ 0.5%); T 5 (RDF + Mo @ 0.5%); T 6 (RDF + Fe @ 0.5% + Zn @ 0.5%); T 7 (RDF + Fe @ 0.5% + Zn @ 0.5% + Mn @ 0.5%); T 8 (RDF + Co @ 0.5%) and T 9 (RDF + Mixture of all micronutrients @ 0.5%).Spraying of micronutrients was done at 30 days after sowing.From the present investigation it is concluded that among 10 treatment combination of foliar spray of nutrients applied in green gram on the basis of mean performance T 9 (RDF+ Mixture of all micronutrients @ 0.5%) performed best in terms of yield parameters like number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, seed yield per plant, seed index.It was second highest in harvest index and second most early in flowering and maturing.Therefore, combination used in T 9 i.e., RDF + Mixture of all micronutrients @ 0.5% can be promoted to use to get better yield and overcome low productivity in green gram.
