Abstract

The study was conducted during kharif 2018 at Regional Research Station Bawal of CCS HaryanaAgricultural University, on green gram cultivar MH 421. The total nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium content and uptake in seed and straw were significantly influenced by different potassium and zinc levels. Green gram seed and straw yield increased by increasing potassium and zinc application over control but significantly up to the levels 20 and 25 kg ZnSO4 ha-1. Both K20 and K30 treatments recorded significantly higher N, P, K content, and uptake of N, P, K in seed as compared to control. Similarly in straw, K20 and K30 treatments significantly higher N, P and K content and uptake in straw over the control was observed. The availability of particular nutrient increased by application to the soil and also promotes the uptake of other nutrients as well.
