Response of Greengram [Vigna Radiata (L.)] to Levels of Vermicompost and Zincunder Loamy Sand Soil
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different vermicompost and zinc levels on nutrient content in plant and soil as well as yield potential of greengram in loamy sand soil at College Farm, S. K. N. College of Agriculture, S. K. N. Agriculture University, Jobner, Rajasthan during kharif season of2016. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications consisting of 16 treatments, namely, vermicompost levels (control, VC @ 2.5 t ha-1, VC @ 5.0 t ha-1 and VC @ 7.5 t ha-1) and zinc levels (control, Zn @ 2 kg ha-1, Zn @ 4 kg ha-1 and Zn @ 6 kg ha-1). The research results indicated that increasing levels of vermicompost and zinc increased the nutrient content in plant and soil as well as productivity of greengram crop. However, the application of zinc affects the phosphorus content in plant as well as soil due to the antagonistic relation between zinc and phosphorus
