Study on nitrogen and sulphur fertilization to the green gram (Phaseolus radiata L.) under rainfed condition

An experiment was carried out at Rajaula Farm of Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) during 2010-11 on nitrogen and sulphur fertilization to moong crop. Observed data revealed that highest dose level of nitrogen (100% of N / ha.) and Sulphur (60 kg/ha) produced maximum number of pods upto 34.27 and 33.67 and maximum number of grain (8.71 per pod) , maximum test weight to the extent of 31.62 g was higher by 14.35 % over control (0 % N). The best interaction was also observed with 100 % N with 60 kg S / ha which resulted significantly higher test weight (32.36) as compared to all remaining interaction. It is apparent from the result that application of 100 % N recorded 39.08 and 21.69 % higher grain yield over 0 to 75% N and 0 to 50 kg S / ha. Remarkable increase in noduation parameter at 100 % N and 60 kg S / ha. Variety PDM?139 produced maximum yield 1284.67 kg / ha in S3 N3 treatment (100 % N & 60 kg S / ha.) showing suitable adoptability in chitrakoot.
