 ABSTRACT

Field experiment was conducted at the Student instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, AKS University, Satna, (M.P.) during the kharif season of 2019-20 to study the effect of phosphorus levels and varieties on growth, yield parameters, yield and economics of black gram. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with four phosphorus levels viz., control (no fertilizer), 40, 50 and 60 kg P2O5 /ha and three black gram varieties were tested are V1- PU-31, V2- PRATAP-1 and V3- IPU-2-43. Application of 60 kg P2O5 /ha registered significantly higher grain yield (4.65 kg/ha), yield attributing characters, harvest index, net returns (Rs. 14474.00/ha) and B: C ratio (1.77:1) of black gram compared to control, 20 & 40 kg P2O5 /ha. Cv. IPU- 2-43 produced significantly higher grai n yield (4.40 q/ha), yield attributing parameters, harvest index, net returns (Rs. 13407.00/ha) and B: C ratio (1.73:1) compared to other varieties. Result showed that black gram variety IPU- 2-43 sown with the application of 60 kg P2O5/ha recorded the maximum and significantly higher values of these parameters.

Keywords: Black gram, Phosphorus level, Grain yield, Varieties, Harvest index.
