Abstract

Rice bean [Vigna umbellata (Thunb.), previously Phaseolus calcaratus is a non-conventional and underutilized bean. All the parameters like nodulation, yield, quality of dwarf rice bean was highest with application of 30 Kg N/ha (Urea)+ VC @5 t/ha + Neem@75Kg/ha which was statistically at par with 20 kg N/ha (Urea) + VC @ 5 t/ha + Neem@75kg/ha. Available nutrient status in soil after harvest was also highest in 30 Kg N/ha (Urea)+ VC @5 t/ha + Neem@75Kg/ha. Minimum was in VC @2.5 t/ha + Neem@50kg/ha.
