Influence of Organic Nutrient Management on Growth and Physiological Parameters of Redgram (Cajanus cajan L.)

The field experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of organic nutrient management in growth and physiological parameters of redgram (Cajanus cajan L.) and executed during rabi season 2023 - 2024 at North farm, Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences, Coimbatore. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with 11 treatments and 3 replications. The result revealed that maximum plant height, number of root plant-1, dry matter production, leaf area index, crop growth rate, relative growth rate, net assimilation rate was found higher in 50% N equivalent based FYM @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 50% N equivalent based vermicompost @ 0.416 t ha-1 (T4) and 100% RDF + FYM @ 12.5 t ha-1 (T10) and which was followed by 100% N equivalent based vermicompost @ 0.8 t ha-1 compared to control (T11). As the result from the study recorded and concluded that the interaction effect with 50% N equivalent based FYM @ 2.5 t ha-1 + 50% N equivalent based vermicompost @ 0.416 t ha-1 increases the crop growth and physiological parameters of redgram and results in higher production.
