Effect of different distance from tree and RDF levels on growth parameters of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek] under Guava (Psidium guajava L.) based agri-horti system
(Agri. Bio. Publishers, 2014) Surendra Kumar; R.S. Meena; Pravesh Kumar
A field experiment was conducted to find out suitable distance and fertility level for mungbean under Psidium guajava L. based agri-horti system. Growth parameters of mungbean were affected by distance from tree and recorded significant distance D2 (2.0 m away from tree) than D1 (1.25 m away). Growth parameters affected by RDF levels were also found significant over control. Highest growth parameters were recorded in F 3 (100% RDF) and RDF levels F, (75% RDF) and F4 (125% RDF) were statistically at par with each other. Lowest growth parameters were recorded in F1 (50% RDF) level. Interaction between distance from tree and RDF level was found significant. The height of mungbean was recorded significantly higher in the combination of 2.0 m away from tree and 100% RDF.

Observation was made on "Effect of row spacing and moisture conservation practices on production potential of maize in guava (Psidium guajava L.) Based agri-horti system under rainfed condition" at Agronomy farm of Rajiv Gandhi South Campus, Bañaras Hindu University, Barkachha Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh (India) during kharif season of 2012-13. The site of experimental field is situated at 25° 10' North latitude, 82° 37 East longitudes, 427 meters above mean sea level in the semi-arid eastern plain zone. The field experiment was conducting under seven years old guava based agrihorti system with split plot design having three levels of row spacing (30cm, 45cm and 60cm) and four level of mulching (No mulch, paddy straw mulch, green weed mulch and dust mulch). The height, girth and canopy of the tree in seven years old guava were up to 3.15m, 21.50cm and 5.90m, respectively. Paddy straw mulch at 60 cm row spacing gave the highest number of grain cob-1 (358.07). Row spacing of 60 cm and paddy straw mulch produced significantly more grain weight plant-1 (64.13 g) over the all other mulch treatments. Row spacing at 45 cm produced significantly higher grain yield (52.21 q ha-1) over the 30 cm and 60 cm row spacing. Due to mulching treatments, grain yield significantly improved and highest grain yield (52.32 q ha-1) was recorded with the application of paddy straw mulch followed by green weed mulch (50.11 q ha-1) and dust mulch (49.38 q ha-1). In overall comparison, the pure maize crop yield was higher as compared to tree-crop system. © EM International.
Response of potassium application on growth parameters of mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) wilczek] under custard apple (Annona squamosa L.) based agri-horti system
(Agri Bio Research Publishers, 2014) Pranav Kumar; Pravesh Kumar; Anil Kumar Singh; R.S. Meena
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2010-11 to find out the response of potassium application on mungbean under custard apple based agri-horti system. Potassium application is directly related to growth, plant biomass and yield in crops. Results showed that the application of different potassium levels showed significant effect on growth parameters. Potassium application up to 80 kg/ha significantly increased growth parameters i. e. plant height, plant canopy, number of trifoliate leaf/plant, number of branches/plant, number of nodules/plant and total dry matter accumulation/plant than control.
