Abstract

The response of vegetable cluster bean (Cyamopsistetragonoloba L.) was studied with different sowing time under varying nutrient management in summer season. Crop sown on 25^th February or 10^th March 2010 performed equally good and showed superiority over early sowing on 25^th January and 10^th February 2010. Maximum yield andnet realization (Rs. 57083 per hectare) with BCR of 3.91 were obtained from 25^th February sown crop. Crop receiving either FYM @ 10 t ha⁻¹ or biocompost @ 5 t ha⁻¹ along with 75% RDF increased green pod yield by 12.41 and 4.54 per cent and stalk yield by 11.91 and 4.56 per cent, respectively over RDF @ 100%. A remarkable improvement in N and P status in soil was also observed undertreatments having inclusion of organics. Crop fertilized with 75% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha⁻¹ registered maximum net realization of Rs. 52098 ha-1 with BCR 3.01, which was closely followed by Rs. 49070 ha⁻¹ with BCR 3.18 under 75% RDF + biocompost @ 5 t ha⁻¹
