Varietal Response of Next Generation Fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Mung Bean Vigna radiata L

Abstract

The field experiment to study the Varietal Response of Next Generation Fertilizers on Growth and Yield of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.) Student s Instructional Farm of Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur for two consecutive years during summer seasons 2021 and 2022. The twelve treatment combinations consisting of two varieties (Pusa-1431 and Virat) and six nutrient management practices ((100% NPK, 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM, 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM + NPK Consortia, 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM + Nano-P Spray at 25 DAS, 75% NPK + NPK Consortia + Nano-P Spray at 25 DAS, and 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM + NPK Consortia + Nano-P Spray at 25 DAS)) were tested in factorial randomized block design with three replications. newlineResults showed that variety Pusa-1431 proved significantly superior over Virat Variety with respect to all growth parameters (Plant height, dry matter accumulation, LAI, CGR, RGR, NAR, phenological study and root study). The yield attributes (no. of pods plant-1, pod length (cm), number of grains per pods and test weight) and grain, straw and biological yields were significantly higher with variety pusa-1431. The N, P, K content and uptake, partial factor productivity were also significantly higher with variety pusa-1431. newlineResults further indicated that plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of no. of pods plant-1, pod length (cm), number of grains per pods, test weight, grain, straw and biological yields, the content and uptake of N, P and K significantly increased with application of 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM + NPK Consortia + Nano-P Spray at 25 DAS over 100 %NPK but remained at par with 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM + Nano-P Spray at 25 DAS.% RDF. newlineSignificantly higher net returns and B: C ratio were obtained with variety Puusa-1431 and application of 75% NPK + 5 t ha-1 FYM + NPK Consortia + Nano-P Spray at 25 DAS. newline newline
