Effect of levels of boron and molybdenum on economics of Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.) cultivation

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of levels of Boron and Molybdenum on Economics of Blackgram cultivation. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design, with 12 treatments, each replicated thrice, in the kharif 2019 with the different levels of Boron (0.1%,0.2%,0.3% of Borax solution) and Molybdenum(0.5,1.0,1.5 Mo Kg/ha) respectively at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). Application of Boron and Molybdenum significantly influenced the economics of Blackgram. Addition of 0.3% solution of Borax +1.5kg Mo/ha recorded the maximum Gross realization (Rs. 56100) was observed with the treatment T9 (R.D.F + 0.3% Solution of Borax +1.5 kg ha-1of Molybdenum) Maximum net returns (Rs27783) were also recorded with the same treatment. The highest benefit cost ratio was recorded as (1.73:1) with above said treatment.
