Influence of Various Organic Amendments on Growth and Yield Attributes of Mung Bean (Vigna radiata L.)

A field experiment was conducted during summer season of 2022 to study the influence of various organic amendments on various attributes of growth and yield of mung bean. The experiment was laid out in four replications with 11 treatments in Randomized Block design (RBD). The results revealed that the highest plant height (52.8 cm), number of leaves plant-1 (35.3), number of branches plant-1 (11.1), chlorophyll content using SPAD (58.4), leaf area index (1.85) was recorded from the combined application of T11= Recommended dose of fertilizers(RDF) + Vermicompost + Jeevamrutam + Rhizobium. Similarly for yield attributes the highest number of pods plant-1 (31.35), pod’s length (11.05 cm), number of grains pods-1 (12.2), test weight (45.7 g) , grain yield (1242.5 kg ha-1), straw yield (2181.1 kg ha-1), biological yield (3405.3 kg ha-1) and harvest index (36%) was recorded in combined application of same treatment T11. The result showed that combined application of organic manures had positive effects on growth and yield parameters of mung bean.
