Effect of different bio manure produced on the growth and yield of green gram

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at the field of SDMVMS College of Agricultural Biotechnology Aurangabad (MH), to determine the agronomical performance of green gram in the presence of different bio manure produced. Using biomanure derived from the anaerobic digestion of organic waste streams can provide several benefits in agricultural applications. Bio manure is a rich source of essential plant nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which can be readily absorbed by crops, thereby reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. The experimental field's soil had a silt clay loam texture, was low in organic carbon and accessible nitrogen, and was medium in available phosphorus and potash, with a pH of 7.4. There were three replications of each treatment, which included three types of organic manures. There are 4 different treatments available (T1 to T4). The treatments included the application of various biomanures produced from sugarcane bagasse, waste potato, and wheat straw. The growth and yield parameters, such as plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, seed weight, and 1000-seed weight, were recorded and analyzed to assess the effectiveness of the different bio-manure treatments. The treatment of 5 t/ha potato waste bio manure (T2) resulted in positive plant growth and yield.
