Nutrient management for rainfed greengram (Vigna radiata)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2001 to study the effect of NPK along with composted coirpith on biometric observations, yield and nutrient content of greengram. Application of NPK at 12.5:25:25 kg ha-1 along with CCP at 12.5 t ha-1 increased the yield attributes, dry matter, grain yield and 100 seed weight. Nitrogen content was significantly increased in P applied plot along with CCP. Application of K at 12.5 kg ha-1 significantly increased P and K content in grain.

Keywords: Greengram, Biometric observations, Yield, Nutrient content.
