The study investigated and compared the growth and yield performance of different green gram varieties specifically cultivated during the summer season in the Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh

The present investigation entitled “Growth, yield and quality assessment of different summer green gram (Vigna et al.) varieties in Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh” was carried out during the Zaid season 2022-23. The experiment was conducted at the Agriculture Research Farm of Brahmanand Mahavidyalaya Rath (Hamirpur) U.P. The Research Farm is situated in the southern part of the U.P. in the Bundelkhand region. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (Randomized Block Design (RBD)) with seven varieties (check variety, Mona, Soorya, IPM410-3, IPM2-3, Varsha, and Heera); varieties were taken from the Indian Institute of Pulses Research (IIPR) in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. In the field trials conducted, The variety Varsha exhibited remarkable growth characteristics, surpassing all other varieties in plant height, dry matter accumulation, number of branches, total nodulation, and leaf area index (LAI). Following Varsha, Heera, and IPM2-3, showed some growth parameters but were ultimately outperformed by the exceptional results of Varsha. Moreover, Varsha demonstrated superior yield attributes regarding grain yield, straw yield, and biological yield.
