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

Abstract

The field investigation entitled “Crop weather relationship studies in Black gram (Phaseolus mungo L.) under different sowing windows” was carried out during kharif season 2019-20 at Research Farm of College of Agriculture, Nagpur to study the. 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). 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 on 26th MW and variety TAU-1. Temperature requirement was maximum in sowing on 26th MW and variety TAU-1 and the influence of relative humidity requirement of sowing on 26th MW and variety TAU-1 were not noticed on yield of crop.
