Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Factorial Randomized Block Design during kharif 2018 farm, Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Barkachha, Mirzapur (RGSC), Banaras Hindu University (U.P.) to effect of fertilizer and biofertilizer on growth and yield attributes in green gram (V. radiata L.) under guava (P. guvajava L.) based agri-horti system. The twelve year old guava (P. guvajava L.) orchard was planted in August 2006 as spacing of 7m x 7m. Seven treatment combinations viz., control, Rhizobium culture, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, press mud, Rhizobium culture plus fertilizer, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria plus fertilizer, press mud plus fertilizer. Application of press mud plus fertilizer performed better by recording number of pod per plant (35.6), length of pod (11 cm) and test weight (35.1 g) yield attributes viz., grain yield (1090.25 kg ha-1) and Stover yield (2808.01 kg ha-1) However, significantly superior to the rest of the treatment over the control.
