Effect Different Level of Organic Sources on Growth, Yield, Quality and Economic Response of Moong Bean (Vigna radiata L.) in Central Part of India

Excessive utilization of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides, leading to environmental, soil and water contamination and pest outbreaks, has emerged as a significant concern in recent year. In today’s agricultural landscape, there is a growing trend towards organic farming, emphasizing a sift from high-volume to high-value production system.

A field experiment was conducted in Institute of Agriculture Sciences, Bundelkhand University Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh during kharif season of 2021. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design and replicated thrice with nine treatments combination, three different sources of organic viz., farm yard manure, vermicompost and poultry manure along with Rhizobium and Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB).

Experimental results indicated that 1/3 through farm yard manure (16.66 q ha^-1) + 1/3 through poultry manure (2.77 q ha^-1) + through vermicompost (8.33 q ha^-1) + rhizobium + PSB, significantly enhancing growth parameters leaf area, leaf area index, dry matter accumulation per meter square, yield attributes like Pod weight, grain yield and quality attributes, higher net return.
