| Abstract | ||||
| In the Kharif season 2022, a field experiment was conducted at the Students' Instruction Farm, CS University of Agriculture & Technology Kanpur, UP (India), to assessing the impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on the growth and yield of Black gram (Vigna mungo L. (Hepper)). The experiment was laidout in a Randomized Block Design, comprised eight treatments with three replications. The treatments were, Control (T1), RDF + Rhizobium (T2), FYM at 4 tons/ha (T3), 100% RDF + FYM at 2 tons/ha + Rhizobium (T4), 50% RDF + FYM at 2 tons/ha + Rhizobium (T5), Vermicompost at 2 tons/ha + Rhizobium (T6), 100% RDF + Vermicompost at 1 ton/ha + Rhizobium (T7), and 50% RDF + Vermicompost at 1 ton/ha + Rhizobium (T8). Crop variety Shekhar-1 of black gram was sown on July 26, 2022, at a seed rate of 18 kg/ha, with a spacing of 30 x 10 cm. Various parameters related to growth, yield attributes, and overall yield were recorded. Notably, applying 100% RDF, Vermicompost at 1 ton/ha, and seed inoculation with Rhizobium resulted in the most favorable outcomes across all the parameters mentioned. This treatment led to a significant increase in plant height (49.90 cm), the number of branches (5.30), pod length (5.13 cm), the number of pods per plant (25.80), the number of seeds per pod (6.12), grain yield (1414.66 kg/ha), and biological yield (3511.9 kg/ha). These improvements represented a substantial enhancement of 22.6%, 42.07%, 27.29%, 25.58%, 35.78%, 39.27%, and 39.43%, respectively, compared to the control group. | ||||
