ABSTRACT
The experiment was carried out during the kharif 2017 at experimental farm College of Horticulture, SDAU, Jagudan (Gujarat). The experiment consists thirteen treatments viz., RDF- 100:50:50 kg NPK/ha + FYM 20 t/ha (T1), 75 % T1 + Pressmud 1.25 t/ha (T2), 50 % T1 + Pressmud 2.5 t/ha (T3), 75 % T1 + Vermicompost 2.5 t/ha (T4), 50 % T1 + Vermicompost 5.0 t/ha (T5), T2 + Azospirillum 2.5 l/ha + PSB 2.5 l/ha (T6), T3 + Azospirillum 2.5 l/ha + PSB 2.5 l/ha (T7), T4 + Azospirillum 2.5 l/ha + PSB 2.5 l/ha (T8), T5 + Azospirillum 2.5 l/ha + PSB 2.5 l/ha (T9), T6 + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha (T10), T7 + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha (T11), T8 + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha (T12), T9 + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha (T13) and was laid out in Randomized block design with The results revealed that the maximum length of pod (13.76 cm), thickness of pod (14.46 mm) and Crude protein content (16.45 %), total uptake of N (75.54 kg/ha), P2O5 (11.86 kg/ha) and K2O (54.99 kg/ha), maximum available nitrogen (230.00 kg/ha), phosphorous (64.94 kg/ha) and potash (108.60 kg/ha) were reported in T13 (50% RDF + FYM 10 t/ha + Vermicompost 5.0 t/ha + Azospirillum 2.5 l/ha + PSB 2.5 l/ha + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha). Though, maximum net return (1,86,494 `/ha) and BCR (4.63) was found under treatment T11 (50% RDF + FYM 10 t/ha) + Pressmud 2.5 t/ha + Azospirillum 2.5 l/ha + PSB 2.5 l/ha + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha).
