Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out during the kharif of 2017 at Agronomy farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner in Jaipur district of Rajasthan to study the effect of fertility levels and stress mitigationg chemicals on growth and yield of mungbean comprising of sixteen treatment combinations comprising, four levels of fertility (control, 50% RDF, 75% RDF, 100% RDF and four stress mitigating chemicals i.e. control, salicylic acid @ 75 ppm at flower initiation and 7 days after first spray, 75 ppm salicylic acid + 2% urea at flower initiation and 500 ppm thiourea at flower initiation), evaluated in randomized block design and replicated three times. Among the different level of fertility, application of 75% were recorded significantly higher value of all the growth and yield attributing characters viz., plant height, dry matter/plant, number of pods/plant, seed yield, straw yield and biological yield. Among stress mitigating chemicals 500 ppm thiourea remaining at par with salicylic acid + 2% Urea significantly increased the plant height, dry matter accumulation/plant, number of pods/plant, seed, straw and biological yield, nitrogen concentration and their uptake over salicylic acid and control.
