Effect of nitrogen, phosphorus and bio-fertilizers on quality of Indian Bean (Lablab purpureus L. var. typicus)
Keywords:
Annapurna, legumes, phosphorusAbstract
Indian bean or Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus L. var. typicus) belongs to the family Fabaceae (2n = 22). The crop is grown for its green pods which consumed as vegetable when pods are immature, tender and green. Its dry seeds are also used in various vegetable food preparations. The nutritional composition of edible green pods contain 86% moisture, 2.0% fibre, 4.0% protein, 1.0% fat, 7.10% carbohydrate, 48 Kcal energy, 210mg calcium, 68mg phosphorus, 1.0mg iron, 668IU vitamin A, 0.08mg thiamine, 0.11mg riboflavin, 0.75mg niacin and 9.3mg vitamin C (Gopalan et al., 2004).
