Abstract
I have worked on the topic referred above under the supervision of Dr. Amit Kumar Singh.
The experiment was conducted in a split-plot design at the College Research Farm of BUAT, Banda
during the Kharif season of 2021. The holistic aim of t his ex perim ent w as to search out the
most suitable variety of Green gram and Black gram that could easily produce the optimum yield
with better profitability and also to standardize appropriate nutrient management techniques that suit
well to the crops and variety in the region. The experiment consisted of two-factor treatments with
4 levels. Therefore, a total of 16 treatments combination arrived to test, and every treatment(s)
was/were replicated thrice in an experimental unit. The main plot consisted of the nutrient
management techniques that were applied to the tested crops and their varieties namely, Farmers’
Practice (FP), Recommended dose of Fertilizers (RDF), 50% Recommended doe of phosphorus +
5.0 quintal biofertilizer carrier-based enriched farm yard manure (EFYM) and 25% RDP + 10.0
quintal EFYM. Further, each main plot had divided into 4 sub-plots held 2 crops with their 2
varieties namely Varsha, Kanika of Mung bean and IPU 11-02, IPU 2-43 of Urd bean.
In general, the weather condition was quite conducive resulting in harnessing good crop
yields during the year of field experimentation. The soils of the experimental unit were silty clayey
and had moderate a pH of 7.6 and EC 0.16 dSm-1
. It was poorly fertile having total organic
carbon (11.9 g kg-1
) and nitrogen (2240 kg ha-1
) and available phosphorus (17.2 kg ha-1
) and
potassium (257.3 kg ha-1
). As per the standard package and practices for the Urdbean/Mungbean
were applied and accordingly, the experimental field was prepared and later sowing of treated seeds
was done at a spacing of 45*10 cm apart.
Observations on growth parameters and quantitative and qualitative attributes of Mung and
Urd bean were recorded as and when required. The conducted field study during Kharif 2021 under
rain-fed late sown condition reveals that Urd bean variety “IPU 11-.02” when sown on July 16th was
performed significantly superior over other varieties and crops tested irrespective of integrated
nutrient management practices applied. The integrated application of nutrients when applied as basal
50% RDP accompanied with Biofertilizer carrier-based enriched FYM @ 5 q ha-1 proved distinct in
terms of growth and development that resulted in maximizing yield productivity, and profitability of
the crops. Nonetheless, an Urdbean variety “IPU 11-02” was tested with either 50% RDP + 5 quintals
EFYM or 25% RDP + 10 quintal EFYM among the treatment combinations, which produced a
statistically similar response concerning major growth and yield attributes and ultimately resulted in
identical yields. Among the nutrient management, crop and variety studied, the application of 50%
RDP accompanied with Biofertilizers carrier-based enriched FYM @ 5 q ha-1
to Urd bean var. IPU
11-02 produced the maximum seed yield and monetary advantage. Therefore, a holistic technology
is recommended for the pulse growers of the Bundelkhand area, this technology stands practically
feasible and economically viable.
