Abstract:
Applications of 25 kg ZnSO4/ha, 10 kg borax/ha and micronutrients mixture resulted in enhancement of plant growth and yield characteristics viz. Field emergence count, plant height, number of branches. The highest seed yield of 1198.41 kg/ha was obtained with application of micronutrients mixture followed by the application of borax @ 10 kg/ha (1098.41 kg). Moderate effects were observed with application of Zn and Mo in respect of these traits. In general, applications of Zn, B and Mo in combinations were found effective in enhancing yield in this crop.
An investigation was undertaken during kharif 2017-18 in the Department of Agricultural Botany, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth Parbhani to find out the response of micronutrients application on plant growth and seed yield attributes in green gram cv.BM-2003-2. Five different micronutrients viz. zinc, boron, molybdenum, manganese and cobalt were applied in different concentrations, singly and in combination consisting of ten treatments viz., soil application of Zn (10 & 25 kg/ha zinc sulphate, zinc chelate @ 500 g/ha) and B (5 & 10 kg borax/ha), seed treatment of Mo (Ammonium molybdate @ 5 g/kg) and Co (Cobalt nitrate @ 1 g/kg), foliar spray of Mn (Manganese dioxide @ 0.5%), mixture of all micronutrients and a control . were found effective in enhancing yield in this crop.
