EFFECT OF NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS FERTILIZATION ON YIELD OF HORSEGRAM (Macrotyloma uniflorum Lam)

Abstract

The studies on effect of fertilization on yield of horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum L) Cv. Dapoli-1 revealed that application of 37.5 kg.ha-1 N had significant effect in increasing grain and straw yield of horsegram. However it was on a par with the application of 25 kg.ha-1 N. Similarly, applications of 60 kg.ha-1 P2O5 produced significantly more grain and straw yield over control, 40 and 20 kg.ha-1 P2O5.

Keywords: Horsegram, Nitrogen, Phosphorous Fertilisation, Konkan Region.
