Abstract

Summer green gram (Vigna radiata) is a valuable pulse crop known for its short growth duration, high protein content, and soil-enriching properties. Enhancing its productivity through efficient nutrient management is crucial for sustainable pulse cultivation. While the individual roles of vermicompost and soil fertility treatments in enhancing legume crop productivity have been studied exclusively but limited research exists on their interactive effects. An experiment was conducted during summer season of 2024 at the experimental farm, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara (Punjab) on “Interactive effect of various levels of vermicompost and soil fertility treatments on growth and yield of summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.). The experiment was carried out in Split plot design with 3 levels of vermicompost viz. 0, 4, 8 t ha-1 in main plots and four soil fertility treatments viz. FC (Control), FCB (Consortium biofertilizer), FRDF (Recommended dose of fertilizer), FCB+RDF (Consortium biofertilizer + Recommended dose of fertilizer). The results revealed that there was significant increase in growth, yield and yield attributes with increase in each level of vermicompost and application of FCB+RDF produced significantly higher, yield and yield attributes followed by FRDF and FCB whereas the interaction effect was significant in number of leaves plant-1, number of nodules plant-1, number of pods plant-1, stover yield, seed yield and harvest index.
