Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at S.V.Agricultural college, Tirupati campus of Acharya N.G.Ranga Agriculture University during the rabi season 2006 on sandy loam soil. The results reported that Application of 75 per cent RDF + VAM@ 2 kg ha-1 + PSB @ 2.5 kg ha-1 significantly increased the plant height (cm), number of branches per plant, leaf area (cm2) and dry weight (g) of plant in the variety Arkasuvidha (V2) followed by selection 9 and Arka komal. The number of clusters per plant, number of pods per plant, number of pods per cluster, number of seeds per pod, 100 seed weight (g), pod length, pod yield per plant (g) and pod yield per hectare (t/ha), crude protein and fibre content (%) was significantly increased by the application of 75 per cent RDF + VAM @ 2 kg ha-1 + PSB @ 2.5 kg ha-1 in Arkasuvidha (V2) variety.
