Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Zaid 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil texture of the experimental site was sandy loam, with a pH of 7.1, low organic carbon (0.36 percent), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha), and available K (232.5 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice on the basis of one year experimentation. The treatments consist of three phosphorus levels viz., 30kg/ha, 40kg/ha and 50kg/ha and molybdenum viz. 0.5 kg/ha, 1.0 kg/ha and 1.5kg/ha. The results showed that application of Phosphorous 50 kg/ha + Molybdenum 1.5 kg/ha was recorded significantly higher plant height (45.65 cm), Plant dry weight (6.68 g/plant). However, Crop growth rate (5.11 g/m2/day) was recorded highest in treatment Phosphorous 50 kg/ha + Molybdenum 0.5 kg/ha. However, treatment with Phosphorous 50 kg/ha + Molybdenum 1.5 kg/ha recorded significantly highest No. of pods/plant (16.22), Length of the pod (6.74 cm), No. of Seeds/pod (6.87), Test weight (37.81 g), Seed yield (1378.27 kg/ha), Harvest index (37.01 %) as compared to other treatments.
