Effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth of greengram (Vigna radiata L.) under Punjab condition

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2017 in the field of Lovely Professional University, Punjab, India. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design (RCBD) followed by six treatments i. e. T₁ (Control), T₂ (100% RDF), T₃ (50% RDF+50% FYM), T₄ (50% FYM+50% compost), T₅ (50% FYM+25% poultry manure+25% compost) and T₆ (50% RDF+25% FYM+25% poultry manure) with three replications. The organic sources were farm yard manure, poultry manure and compost along with the combination of inorganic fertilizer i. e. recommended dose of fertilizer-RDF (20: 40: 20 NPK). The results showed that organic manure and inorganic fertilizer in combination increased morphological parameters greengram viz., plant height, number of leaves and number of branches over the control treatment.
