Influence of iron and molybdenum on growth and yield of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.)

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2023 at Crop Research Farm Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Sciences And Technology. To determine “Influence of Iron and Molybdenum on growth and yield of Cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.)”. The results revealed that treatment 9 [Iron (8 kg/ha) + Mo (3 kg/ha)] recorded significantly higher plant height (93.50 cm), maximum number of branches/plants (17.23), maximum number of nodules/plants (25.36), higher plant dry weight (31.76 g), maximum gross return (68080.35 INR /ha), maximum net return (40805.51 INR /ha) and highest B:C ratio (1.50) was recorded in treatment 9 [Iron (8 kg/ha) + Mo (3 kg/ha)] as compared to the other treatments was found to be productive as well as economically feasible.
