Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 20
Abstract
An experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture, Mandsaur campus of RVSKVV Gwalior during kharif season 2012-13 to study the effect of phosphorus level on growth, yield, yield parameters and quality in cow pea. It was observed that varieties excerted significant influence on all the growth parameters. Similarly it was also observed that increasing phosphorus level significantly increases growth, yield, yield parameters and quality in cow pea. Result reported that among the different varieties of cow pea, Kashi Shyamal (V2) showed superior performance for growth attributes, yield attributes, yield and quality. Among the phosphorus levels P5 (120 kg/ha) resulted in the highest growth parameters, yield parameters, yield and quality of cow pea. Combined effect of varieties and phosphorus levels exhibited significant influence number of pods per plant, protein content (%) and seed yield per plant (g).
