Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at students’ Instructional Farm, Department if Agronomy. Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology Kanpur (U.P) in summer season for two consecutive years (2019 and 2020) with the objective to study the response of selected greengram varieties under different tillage practices and to identify the most suitable tillage and varieties combination. Split plot design was adopted with three replication. The main plot treatments were two practices of tillage viz., zero and conventional tillage. The sub plot treatments were three varieties PDM 139, IPM 205-07 and IPM 99-125. The study revealed that tillage practices and varieties had influence on growth, yield and quality of greengram. Mean growth parameter and yield was significantly not influenced by tillage practices in both of years of investigation. However, conventional tillage was higher growth and yield attributed as compared to zero tillage. But while growth, yield attributed was found significantly influenced by varieties in the both years of investigation. The crop growth rate, relative growth rate and net assimilation rate were higher under with variety IPM 99-125 and was followed by variety PDM 139. Root length, root dry matter plant^-1 and number of functional root nodule plant^-1 were observed with variety IPM 99-125 as compared to variety IPM 205-07 and variety PDM 139. Variety IPM 205-07 was found significantly higher percent of soil moisture as compared other variety treatments.
