Abstract

An Experiment was conducted to find out the performance of Urdbean (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper) under foliar application of nutrients at 30 DAS and 45 DAS. The experiment was conducted by adopting randomized block design with three replications. Chosen treatments were imposed at peak vegetative stage (30 DAS) and fifteen days after the first foliar spray (45 DAS). Investigations were undertaken to document the effect of foliar spray of nutrients viz., Urea, ZnEDTA, SSP, Boric acid on blackgram variety pant U 31. The result revealed that More plant height, number of branches, number of trifoliate leaf, dry matter production, nitrogen, sulphur, boron, zinc, content and uptake was received by foliar applications of 2% Urea + 2 % SSP + 0.1 % Zinc EDTA + 0.2 %B (Borax) followed by 2% Urea + 0.1 % Zinc EDTA + 0.2 % B (Borax).
