Abstract

The field experiment was entitled “Study the efficacy of organic manures on varieties of greengram (Vigna radiata L.)” was conducted during Kharif 2021 at SMOF (SHIATS Model Organic Farm), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design consisting of five organic manures including 5 t/ha Farm yard manure, Panchagavya 3%, Jeevamrutha 5%, Panchagavya 5%, Vermiwash 3% in different combinations and three varieties i.e. PDM-139 (Samrat), SML- 668, K-851 was replicated thrice. The result showed that viz: Plant height (59.80 cm), number of branches per plant (6.14), number of root nodules per plant (13.42), dry weight (13.90 g/plant) and crop growth rate at 60 DAS-at harvest interval (3.04 g/m2/day) and Number of pods per plant (44.74), seed yield (883.82 kg/ha) and stalk yield (2156.73 kg/ha) was obtained significantly higher with the application of Panchagavya 5% + Vermiwash 3% + 5 t/ha FYM in Samrat variety.
