Effect of Panchgavya on growth, yield attributes and yield of urdbean [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper]

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at Research farm of Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Jagatpura (Jaipur) to evaluate the effect of panchgavya doses on urdbean crop at different stages. Factorial experiment was laid out in randomized block design using five doses of panchgavya (Control, 2, 4, 6 and 8%) at three stage of crop (branching stage, flowering stage and branching + flowering stages) with three replications. The result revealed that panchgavya application up to 4% at branching + flowering stage significantly improved the growth parameters, yield attributes and yields (822 and 817 kg/ha, respectively) of urdbean and it was recommended for higher productivity of crop under semi arid conditions of Rajasthan.
