Abstract
A field experiment on integrated nutrient management practices for the field trial was conducted on a research farm at Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences School of Agricultural Sciences. This experimental study was carried out in 2022-2023 during the Rabi seasons respectively. Black gram is one of the important pulse crops, grown throughout the country. There were 10 different treatment studies were implemented using a randomized block design. The results of the comparative analysis of the various treatments have highly stated that 75 % RDF + Soil application of 2 kg each of Rhizobial culture and Phosphobacteria+ Foliar spray of 1% TNAU Pulse wonder @ 30 and 45 DAS T7 is conducive for the cultivation of Blackgram (Vamban-8) with significant economics of production.
