Abstract

 

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.
