    Effect of Phosphorus, PSB and Vermicompost on Growth and Yield of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda Uttar Pradesh, 2020-07-23) Shamsurahman; SINGH, S.B.
    A field experiment entitled “Effect of Phosphorus, PSB and Vermicompost on Growth and Yield of Mungbean (Vigna radiata L. Wilczek)” was carried out during Kharif season, 2019 at Agriculture Farm of Banda University of, Agriculture and Technology Banda, Uttar Pradesh, India. The experiment was conducted under Randomized Complete Block Design with 16 treatments (Farmers’ Practices (FYM -5t ha1 + 50 kg DAP ha-1); 75 kg DAP; 100 kg DAP; 125 kg DAP; PSB; 75kg DAP + PSB; 100 kg DAP + PSB; 125 kg DAP + PSB; VC; 75 kg DAP + VC; 100 kg DAP + VC; 125 kg DAP + VC; PSB + VC; 75 kg DAP + PSB + VC; 100 kg DAP + PSB + VC and 125 kg DAP + PSB + VC). Basal applications of 125 kg DAP + VC + PSB resulted in significant increased in all growth characters/parameters. Yield and yield attributes significantly responded to all with the application of 75 kg DAP + VC + PSB. However, initial plant population, chlorophyll content and LAI did not exert significant variation among the treatments. Treatment (T14) where 75 kg DAP + VC + PSB was applied delivered the highest grain yield which gave 22.57% more yield advantage than the farmer practice. However, Application of higher doses of DAP with VC and PSB gave luxuriant growth to the crop rather increased yield and yield attributes. The economics of application of 75 kg DAP /ha + VC + PSB (T14) gave the higher gross return, net return and monetary advantage as compared to the other treatments. B:C ratio (2.25) was recorded under application of 75 kg DAP + VC + PSB (T14) which was slightly lesser than what obtained with the application of 125 kg DAP alone (2.36). This is only because of high cost of vermicompost. However, maximum monetary advantage (22.19%) was noted with 75 kg DAP + VC + PSB (T14) when compared with farmer’s practice. Field study reveals that mungbean var. IPM 2-3 when sown by 02.08.2019 at a spacing of 30 cm and subsequently fertilized at 75 kg DAP and 5 t vermicompost accompanied with seed inoculation with PSB per hectare was found to be effective and remunerative and edaphically viable option and deemed fit in to cropping system.

    EFFECT OF PRE AND POST EMERGENCE HERBICIDES ON WEED DYNAMICS, GROWTH, YIELD AND ECONOMICS OF BLACK GRAM (Vigna mungo L.)
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-11-21) Kumar, Vivek; Singh, Amit Kumar
    The field experiment was carried out at the Agricultural farm of Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda on the prescribed topic "Effect of pre and post-emergence herbicides on weed dynamics, growth, yield, and economics of black gram (Vigna mungo L.)" during Kharif season of the year 2019. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications and 10 treatments in a clayey loam having soil pH 7.7. The treatments consist of pre-emergence herbicides namely, Pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i./ha and Imazethapyr @ 0.06 kg a.i./ha and post-emergence herbicides viz. Quizalofop-p-ethyl @ 0.05 kg a.i./ha, Halosufuron @ 27 g a.i./ha and Fenoxaprop-p-ethyl @ 0.10 kg a.i./ha applied at 25 DAS along with two checks i.e., weed free and weedy check (Hand weeding). During the field study, it was observed that prominent weed flora Cyperus rotundus (L.), Cynodon dactylon (L.), Saccharum spontaneum (L.), Phyllanthus niruri (L.), Digera arvensis, Ziziphus nummularia, Abelmoschus moschatus, Commelina benghalensis (L.) and Vigna radiata var. sublobata etc. were noticed and their effective and hasty control was also realized. The results revealed that weed-free treatment remained the best though found at par with herbicide layering of different molecules. Therefore, the simplest conclusion can be drawn from the present field study that herbicide layering of pre and post-emergent molecules namely, Pendimethalin @ 0.75 kg a.i.at 2 DAS followed by Quizalofop-p-ethyl@ 0.05 kg a.i. at 20 DAS per hectare was found the most effective and produced greater seed yield (1146 kg/ha), the total biomass of 3660 kg/ha, net returns (Rs. 50383/ha), and B:C ratio (3.28:1). However, weed-free produced the maximum seed yield of 1229 kg/ha but failed to be remunerative due to the intensive engagement of labour during two hand weedings at 20 DAS and 40 DAS. Thus generated technology holds promise for on-farm adoption for enhancing the yield productivity by minimizing weeds in terms of better weed control efficiency (77.89%) and weed index (6.67%) during Kharif season under the prevailing climatic conditions of Bundelkhand in general and Banda in particular.

    Response of Greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] Cultivars to Integrated Nutrient Management in Bundelkhand Region of Uttar Pradesh
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-09-26) Tiwari, Ankit; TRIPATHI, A.K.
    An experiment was conducted during kharif 2019 at University Farm, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda on silty clay loam. The experiment comprised of 12 treatment combinations of two greengram cultivars viz., ‘IPM 2-3’ and ‘Virat’ and six integrated nutrient management protocols, viz. control, 100% RDF, 100% vermicompost (2.5 t/ha), 100% RDF + 100% VC (2.5 t/ha), 75% RDF + 50% VC (1.25 t/ha) and 50% RDF + 50% VC (1.25 t/ha) were assigned in randomized block design with three replications. The results revealed that both the cultivars of greengram were found comparable with each other, but cultivar ‘IPM 2-3’ found superior in respect of growth, yield attributes, yields and economics over the cultivar ‘Virat’. Further combined effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers established its superiority over the 100% sole application of RDF and vermicompost (2.5 t/ha). Among the INM treatments, application of 50% RDF blended with 50% vermicompost (1.25 t/ha) recorded at par values of growth, yield attributes and yields over the application of 100% RDF + 100% vermicompost (2.5 t/ha) and 75% RDF + 50% vermicompost (1.25 t/ha). On an average, INM treatments recorded 77.2, 12.4 and 30.1% additional gross returns, 169.2, 14.5 and 64.5% higher net returns as well as 43.0, 2.3 and 26.3% more benefit: cost ratio over the control, 100% RDF and 100% vermicompost (2.5 t/ha), respectively. Application of 50% RDF intermingled with 50% vermicompost (1.25 t/ha) recorded statistically at par values of economics, viz. gross and net return to other INM treatments, but this treatment recorded significantly higher values of benefit: cost ratio (2.32) than plot receiving 100% RDF + 100% VC (2.5 t/ha) (2.17) but at par with 75% RDF + 50% VC (1.25 t/ha) (2.30). Thus, it can be concluded that combined application of 50% RDF and 50% vermicompost (1.25 t/ha) was found more productive and economically remunerative particularly for Bundelkhand regions of Uttar Pradesh.

    Studies on Herbicidal Weed Management in Black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper]
    (Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda-210001, Uttar Pradesh, India, 2020-10-31) Dubey, Shikha; Panwar, G.S.
    A field experiment entitled “Studies on herbicidal weed management in black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper]” conducted during kharif 2019 at Research block, Banda University of Agriculture and Technology, Banda (UP). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. The weed control treatments were: T1 (Imazethapyr @ 70g a.i/ha PE), T2 (Imazethapyr @ 80g a.i./ha PE), T3 (imazethapyr @ 70g a.i./ha at 3-4 leaf stage), T4 (Imazethapyr @ 80g a.i./ha at 3-4 leaf stage), T5 (imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha PE), T6 (Imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 80g a.i./ha PE), T7 (imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage), T8-Imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 80g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage), T9 (pendimethalin @ 1000g), T10 (imazethapyr + pendimethalin RM @ 1000g PE), T11(sodium aciflurfen 16.5%+ clodinafop proparygyl 8EC 1000 ml POE), T12 (Hand Weeding twice 15 and 30 DAS), T13(weedy check (control), T14(Weed free). The experiment was conducted to find out the cost-effective herbicide for controlling weeds and to fine tune the dose of herbicide with the impact of weed management practices on growth and yield of black gram. Application of imazethapyr + pendimethalin RM @ 1000g PE and imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage significantly influence all growth parameters among herbicidal treatments. The maximum value of plant growth parameters viz plant height, branches per plant, number of leaves, dry matter accumulation, root length, leaf area index were associated with weed free treatments followed by (hand weeding twice at 15 & 30 DAS at 60 DAS. The maximum values of yield attributing characters viz. number of pods plant-1, pod length, grains/pod and 100 seed weight were recorded in weed free treatments. Among the herbicidal treatments the maximum values of yield attributes were observed in imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage. The seed yield of black gram was maximum under weed free conditions (12.4 q/ha) followed by hand weeding twice. Among the herbicidal treatment, application of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage yielded highest seed yield to the tune of 11.34 q/ha which was significantly superior over rest of the treatments. In case of weed density, weed dry weight and weed control efficiency application of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 80g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage proved superior over others and recorded minimum weed density, weed dry matter per square meter area with maximum weed control efficiency which was closely followed by PoE of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha. The density of total weed was lowest in hand weeding twice at both the stages of observation. Among the herbicidal treatment lowest weed density was observed with the application of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 80g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage which remains at par with PoE of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha. Uncontrolled weeds reduced the grain yield of black gram by 61.29%. Among herbicidal treatments minimum yield loss to the tune of 8.51% was observed with the application of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha 3-4 leaf stage followed by sodium aciflurfen 16.5%+ clodinafop proparygyl 8EC 1000 ml POE (10.24%), higher net return and benefit cost ratio (2.06) was obtained with postemergence application of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha 3-4 Leaf stage. Field study reveals that post emergence application of imazethapyr + imazamox RM @ 70g a.i./ha was found effective in managing weeds and higher monetary benefits.
