Background: Biofertiliser formulations are available as carrier based and liquid based. Liquid formulations are known to have better shelf life, viability and higher cell count. Little is known about the comparison between the two formulations in field condition. The present experiment was conducted to study the effect of seed treatment of carrier or liquid-based formulations of biofertilisers (Rhizobium and PSB) when integrated with different doses of inorganic fertilisers. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in randomised block design during the summer seasons of 2018 and 2019 on green gram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] in the red laterite soil of West Bengal. Ten treatment combinations were replicated thrice. Growth attributes, yield components, yield, soil characteristics, nutrient uptake and economics were studied. Result: The results revealed that application of recommended doses of fertilisers (RDF) + liquid based Rhizobium + PSB registered significantly highest growth, yield, nutrient uptake in plants, economic return as well as improved soil characteristics. Economic return in plants treated with 75% RDF + Liquid based Rhizobium + PSB was found at par with plants applied with RDF + Carrier based Rhizobium + PSB, RDF + Liquid based PSB and RDF + Liquid based Rhizobium.

An present field experiment was carried out to assess the effect of nutrient management on summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.) during summer 2020 at Agronomy Research Farm, RCSM College of Agriculture, Kolhapur (MH), India. The soil of experimental field was sandy clay loam textural class, slightly alkaline in reaction (pH 7.43), having electrical conductivity 0.22 dS m-1, bulk density 1.34 mg m-3 and low organic carbon content (0.39%), low in available nitrogen (238.29 kg ha-1), high in available phosphorus (30.61 kg ha-1) and medium in available potassium (251.29 kg ha-1). The field experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) having eight treatments and three replications.A 30 cm x10cm spacing and Phule Vaibhav variety was used for seed sowing.The result showed that growth attributes at harvest viz., plant height (66.40 cm), numbers of branches plant-1 (8.20), number of functional leaves plant-1 (29.80), leaf area plant-1 (7.39 dm2) and dry matter accumulation plant-1 (31.70 g) were observed maximum with application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 along with biofertilizers seed treatment as compared to other treatment. Also grain yield (15.70 q ha-1), stover yield (33.97 q ha-1), biological yield (49.67q ha-1) and quality attribute like proteincontent and protein yield were recorded more with the integrated application of 100% RDF + Vermicompost 2.5 t ha-1 along with biofertilizers seed treatment as compare to other treatments. However, lowest values of growth attributes, yield and protein content were recorded in un manured condition (Control plot).

Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek,) commonly known as moong or mung bean or golden gram was introduced to Eritrea as a pulse crop by Ministry of Agriculture at its National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI) in collaboration with Association for Strengthening Agricultural Research in Eastern and Central Africa (ASARECA) in 2012. But its agronomic practices for semi-arid conditions of Eritrea are not yet standardised. Therefore , to find the optimum inter row spacing and phosphorus dose for its higher productivity ,a field experiment was conducted at the experimental farm of Hamelmalo Agricultural College, Keren, Eritrea during summer 2015 and 2016. The experiment was conducted in randomised complete block design (RCBD) with 12 treatment combinations of two factors consisting of four inter row spacing (Broadcast, 18cm, 30cm, and 45cm) and three phosphorus levels (0, 20 and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) each replicated thrice. The results of the study revealed that sowing of K-26 bold seeded variety either by broadcast method or at 18cm inter row spacing at10cm plant to plant spacing fertilized with 40kg P2O5 ha-1 through DAP fertilizer drilled at the time of sowing proved significantly superior to increase growth, yield attributes and seed yield of green gram.

Pests And Diseases

Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek) is one of the most economically important grain legumes of the traditional farming systems of Sri Lanka because it is a cheap source of protein and animal feed, and sustains soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen. Weeds are one of the major problems in green gram cultivation, reducing the yield through competition, interference with harvest and harboring pests and diseases. Controlling of weeds by applying herbicides would definitely cause unexpected damage to human health and the abundant biodiversity of Sri Lanka. Therefore, an investigation was planned to evaluate the yield loss due to weeds and to determine the optimum weed free period to minimize the yield losses. Two experiments were performed. The first experiment was conducted to determine the effects of different weed functional groups on the yield of green gram. In the second experiment, weeds were continuously hand weeded and areas kept weed free. In the third, weeds were allowed to compete with green gram until 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 weeks after cultivation. All the treatments were conducted in randomized complete block design with three replicates. The data collected on types of weed, number of pods and pod weight at 3–6 weeks after planting (WAP) were analyzed using the SAS 9.4 statistical package, and DMRT was performed to determine the best treatment combination. The results from the first experiment showed that average yield loss due to total weed populations was 54.77%. Yield loss due to grasses alone was 46.56%, far worse than broad leaves (16.49%) and sedges (18.01%) at p < 0.05. Crop stand count at 3–4 WAP was not significantly different among treatments. However, biomass weight of 50 plants, number of pods in 50 plants and grain weight of 10 plants were found to be significantly different after 3–4 WAP in weed free conditions at p < 0.05%. When the weed free period increased, the yield was increased until 3 WAP; thereafter, not significant yield increment was observed. In contrast, yield steeply declined in plots that had weeds until 3 WAP. According to the results of the present study, it can be concluded that the critical weed free period from the planting of green gram is 3 WAP. Maintaining a weed free period for 3–4 weeks is recommended to minimize the yield loss of green gram at minimal weed management cost.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the most important and ancient pulse crop being traditionally grown during rabi season and cultivated mainly in semi-arid regions. The content of iron and zinc in the soil of Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS) is below the critical level. A field experiment to study the effect of iron and zinc nutrition on growth, yield and nutrient uptake by chickpea conducted in the vertisols of the Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Vijayapur during rabi 2017-18. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with ten treatments and three replications. The treatments included RPP (Recommended package of practice) and application of iron @ 2, 4 and 6 kg ha-1 and zinc @ 2, 3 and 4 kg ha-1 in combinations along with RPP (RDF (Recommended dose of fertilizer) @ 10:25:00:: N : P2O5 : K2O kg ha-1). The results of the experiment revealed that, the application of iron and zinc in combinations resulted in significant increase in growth, yield and nutrient uptake by chickpea over RPP alone. Among the different treatments RPP + 6 kg Fe ha-1 + 4 kg Zn ha-1 was resulted in the maximum test weight (28.28 g), seed (2065.4 kg ha-1) and straw (1734.9 kg ha-1) yield. Similarly, higher protein content, uptake of nutrients (Fe and Zn) by the crop and residual iron and zinc status in soil were recorded due to the application of RPP + 6 kg Fe ha-1 + 4 kg Zn ha-1. These results were at par with the application of RPP + 6 kg Fe ha-1 + 3 kg Zn ha-1 and lower values were recorded in the treatment that received RPP alone. Finally it could be concluded that the application of fertilizers containing iron and zinc helpeds to improve crop yield, protein content and nutrient uptake by chickpea crop and residual soil fertility in terms of iron and zinc.
