Effects of Phosphorus and Boron on Growth, Yield and Economics of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.)

The experiment was carried out during kharif, 2022 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) to determine the “Effects of Phosphorus and Boron on growth, yield and economics of green gram (Vigna radiata L.)’’. The result showed that treatment 9 [Phosphorus (50 kg/ha) + Boron (1.0 kg/ha)] recorded significantly higher plant height (42.57 cm), higher number of branches/plant (6.73), higher number of nodules/plant (24.13), higher dry weight (16.88 g). Significant and maximum numbers of pods/plant (32.47), maximum numbers seeds/pod (8.40), higher test weight (37.0 g), higher seed yield (12.43 q/ha), higher stover yield (22.83 q/ha) and higher harvest index (35.38 %) were recorded in treatment 9 [Phosphorus (50 kg/ha) + Boron (1.0 kg/ha)]. Maximum gross return (1,16,278 INR/ha), net return (82,434 INR/ha) and highest benefit cost ratio (2.43) were also recorded in treatment 9 [Phosphorus (50 kg/ha) + Boron (1.0 kg/ha)] as compared to other treatments.
