Effect of different organic nutrition combination on growth and yield of Moong bean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)

Abstract— The present investigation was carried at Organic Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Bundelkhand University, Karguanji, Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh during the Kharif-2023 with a view to identify the effects of different combinations of organic nutrition and its role in growth, yield and economics of moong bean variety Samrat. The experiment was laid in Randomized block design with 8 treatments and 3 replications with different combination of organic nutrition. Under this experiment, overall, 8 treatment was taken T0 Control (water spray), T1 (100% Farmyard Manure), T2 (100% Vermicompost), T3 (100% Neem cake), T4 (50% Farmyard + 50% Vermicompost), T5 (50% Farmyard Manure + 50% Neem cake), T6 (50% Neem cake + 50% Vermicompost) and T7 (33.33% Farmyard Manure + 33.33% Neem cake + 33.33% Vermicompost). From the above experimental finding it may be concluded that the treatment T3 (100% Neem cake) was found to be best in the terms of growth parameters like plant height (61.81cm); number of branches (16.48 branches); number of root nodules (15.41 nodules); fresh shoot weight (195.45 gram) at 60 DAS, earliness in flowering (41.00 days) and maturity (61.67 days). T3 also performed best in terms of yield like highest number of pods per plant (50.48 pods); number of seeds per pod (11.33 seeds); pod weight (5.86 gram); longest pod (11.48 cm) and seed yield per hectare (13.60 q/ha).
