Abstract

The study carried out at CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif 2019 revealed that the treatment combination of 75 per cent RDF+vermicompost @ 1t ha^-1 + PSB + Rhizobium. recorded maximum plant height (68.50cm), dry matter accumulation per plant (48.61g ha^-1), pod length (8.21 cm), number of pods (13.61), number of seeds per pod (7.49), seed index (4.78), grain yield (13.26 q ha^-1), straw yield (26.52 q ha^-1), biological yield (39.78 q ha^-1), harvest index (28.13), cost of cultivation (21200 Rs ha^-1), gross and net monetary returns (98124 Rs ha^-1 and 76929 Rs ha^-1, respectively) and BC ratio (3.62) against minimum plant height (52.46 cm), plant dry matter accumulation (35.68g ha^-1), pod length (5.80 cm), number of pods (9.72), number of seeds per pod (6.93), grain yield (7.46 q ha^-1), straw yield (14.92 q ha^-1), biological yield (22.38 q ha^-1), harvest index (26.90), cost of cultivation (17790 Rs ha^-1), gross and net monetary returns (55204 Rs ha^-1 and 37414 Rs ha^-1, respectively) and BC ratio (2.10) recorded in control. Cultivation of green gram cv. MH 421 was found more productive and profitable with the application of 75 per cent RDF + vermicompost @ 1t ha^-1 + PSB + Rhizobium.
