Crop weather relationship studies in black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) Under different sowing windows

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during kharif 2019-20 at Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Nagpur to study the “Crop weather relationship studies in Black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) under different sowing windows”. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four sowing dates viz. D1 (26th MW), D2 (27th MW), D3 (28th MW) and D4 (29th MW), and three varieties viz. V1 (TAU-1), V2 (AKU-15) and V3 (Yashoda-58). Growth attributing characters such as plant height, total number of branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation plant-1 and maturity duration was significantly influenced by sowing 26th MW and variety TAU-1. The yield attributing character viz. number of pod plant-1, weight of dry pod plant-1, grain yield plant-1, test weight, straw yield, biological yield and harvest index recorded maximum in sowing of 26th MW, and variety TAU-1.
