Efficacy of rock phosphate enriched compost on growth, yield and uptake of nutrients by summer mung bean (Vigna radiate (L.) Wilczek) in inceptisol of Varanasi

The pot experiment carried out at Institute of Agricultural Sciences, B.H.U. with eleven treatments consisting of control, 100 per cent recommended dose of NPK fertilizers (100% RDF), 100 per cent RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1, 75 per cent RDF + 4t ordinary compost, 75 per cent RDF + 6t ordinary compost, 75 per cent RDF + 4t enriched compost, 75 per cent RDF + 6t enriched compost, 50 per cent RDF + 4t ordinary compost, 50 per cent RDF + 6t ordinary compost, 50 per cent RDF + 4t enriched compost and 50 per cent RDF + 6t enriched compost with three replications in a completely randomized design showed an increases in growth and vigourness of plant under treatment combination of 75 per cent RDF + 6t enriched compost as compared to all other treatments. It was also observed that the recommended fertilizer dose along with FYM significantly enhanced the growth attributes viz; plant height number of branches and pods plant-1 and the number of mung bean seed per pod.
