Growth Yield And Quality Of Black Gram (VIGNA MUNGO (L) Hepper As Influenced By Variety And Weed Control Measures

Abstract

The demonstrate On Farm Trail was conducted through Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Lahar, during kharif season of 2016 and 2017 were conducted on 4.0 ha at 10 farmer’s field in , Block – Lahar, Distt – Bhind(M.P.) in sandy loam soils having pH 7.5, electrical conductivity 2.80 dSm/cc, organic carbon 0.66 %, available N 130-140 kg ha-1, available P2O5 16-20 kg ha-1and available K2O 210-220 kg ha-1. The rainfall received during cropping season (June to October) was 780 mm distributed in 150 days. The treatment comprised of three black gram varieties [farmer practices (local variety), Pant U. – 19 and J.U.-2] and four weed control measures [farmer practices (weedy check),weed free, application of Alachlore 10%G@20 kg ha-1 as pre-emergence and application of Pendimethalin 10% G @ 20kg ha-1 as pre-emergence).From the result of On farm trail. Performance of black gram under different varieties, Pant U. – 19 gave maximum yield of (7.15 and 7.20 q.ha-1 ) followed by variety J.U.-2 (7.04 and 7.10 q.ha-1 ) during both year respectively. Application Alachlore 10%G@20 kg ha-1 as pre-emergence at par with weed free and produced higher grain yield of (10.70 and 10.72 q.ha-1 ), then other weed control treatments in both year respectively.
