Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during at Barrister Thakur Chhedilal Collage of Agriculture and Research station, Bilaspur, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalya, Raipur, Chhattisgarh during post kharif season 2020-21 entitled with “Assessment of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and yield of Horegram [Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.] in Chhattisgarh plains.” including organic and inorganic nutrients source with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF) 20:40:20 NPK kg ha-1, taking variety of horsegram “Bilasa Kulthi ”. Result revealed that between the different organic and inorganic treatments T6 (100% RDF + Rhizobium culture + PSB) result indicated that the highest seed yield (865.24 kg ha-1) was observed which was significantly superior over other treatments but it was at par with T4 (100% RDF + Rhizobium culture) with seed yield (819.40 kg ha-1) closely followed by the treatments of T5 (75% RDF + 25% N through FYM + Rhizobium culture) with (743.24 kg ha-1), plant population (40.46 plants m2 ) and plant height is (75.11) cm of horsegram. The higher growth attributes characters under the T6 has been affiliated with significantly superior is number of primary branch plant-1 (5.98), Crop growth rate (0.081) g plant -1 day -1. Relative growth rate (0.015g g-1 day-1 ) Net assimilation rate (0.029 g dm-2 day-1 ).
Keywords: Horsegram, growth attributes, organic and inorganic inputs
