Title : EFFECT OF MULCHING PRACTICES, VARIETIES AND FERTILITY LEVELS ON PHYSIOLOGICAL GROWTH PARAMETERS OF CLUSTERBEAN

Abstract :

A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the effect of mulching practices, varieties and fertility levels on physiological parameters of clusterbean at the Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Gwalior. The results revealed mulching practices, varieties and fertility levels on physiological parameters of clusterbean that increased the value of CGR, AGR and LAI up to 90 DAS, RGR up to 60 DAS and LAR up to 30 DAS growth stage and then decline up to maturity. The values of dry matter, CGR, RGR, AGR and leaf area index were recorded higher with plastic mulch, HG-563 and 75% RDF +VC 5t/ha. over remaining mulch, varieties and fertility levels. While leaf area ratio (LAR) was recorded maximum in Control (N0P0K0) over other fertility levels at all growth stages.
