Effect of Soil and Foliar Application of Phosphorus on Yield Attributes, Yield and Quality of Green Gram (Vigna radiata L.)

A field experiment was conducted at Experimental farm of Agronomy, Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani, Maharashtra, in Kharif 2011 to study the effect of soil and foliar application of phosphorus on yield attributes, yield and quality (Protein content) of green gram. The results revealed that application of 50 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ along with foliar application of BOOST-52 (0:52:34) at 30 and 45 DAS shown significantly highest yield parameters, yield (1069 kg ha⁻¹) and protein content (25.75%) than 0, 25 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ with one or two foliar applications and 50 kg P₂O₅ ha⁻¹ with one foliar application.
