Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at the research farm of RARS, AAU, Gossaigaon, Assam during kharif season of 2009 to study the effect of integration of nutrient management practices in black gram (cv. T-9). Adoption of good crop husbandry like stale seed bed practices helps in maintaining lower weed population recorded at 45 DAS. Highest seed yield (4.03 q/ha) was recorded in stale seed bed practice + recommended dose of fertilizer, however, yield was at par with the application of stale seed bed + rhizobium inoculation.
