Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during Kharif 2020 and 2021 at Kanpur, India to find out the effect of FYM, phosphorus and PSB on growth and yield of Green gram variety Shweta. There were twenty treatment combinations of 4 levels of FYM t ha-1: control (F0), 1.0 t (F1), 2.0 t (F2), and 3.0 t (F3), and 5 levels of phosphorus kg ha-1 and PSB viz., PSB only (P1), 20 kg P2O5 (P2), 20 kg P2O5 + PSB (P3), 40 kg P2O5 (P4) and 40 kg P2O5 + PSB (P5) laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design and replicated thrice. The FYM, phosphorus, and PSB were applied as per treatment. The higher growth attributes and number of pods per plant, pod weight plant-1, test weight, seed yield, gross income, net income and B:C ratio were recorded with 3t FYM/ha among the FYM levels and 40 kg P2O5 /ha + PSB among the levels of PSB and phosphorus.
