Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the Agricultural College farm, Bapatla, during kharif and rabi 2017-18 and 2018-19. The experiment was conducted with variety BPT-5204 in a Randomized Block Design with ten treatments and three replications. The maximum number of pods plant^-1, test weight, seed yield, haulm yield and harvest index were recorded with soil test based fertilizer recommendation with 10 t ha^-1 FYM application which was at par with soil test based fertilizer recommendation alone and 7.5tha^-1 targeted yield recommendation along with FYM (T₅ and T₁₀) and RDF with FYM (T₆). Seed yield of blackgram was significantly higher with soil test based fertilizer recommendation with 10 t ha^-1 FYM application which was statistically at par with soil test based fertilizer recommendation alone (T₂) and 7.5 t ha^-1 targeted yield fertilizer recommendation with FYM (T₁₀) compared to the rest of the treatments.
