- FYM: 10-15 t/ha.
- NPK: 20-25:40-80:30-40 kg NPK/ha.
- Foliar spray of 2% urea at flowering has been found beneficial in rainfed crops.
- Higher P efficiency when band placed.
- Zinc application enhances root growth, nodulation and nitrogen content of nodules.
- Foliar application of 0.5% Zinc Sulfate mixed with 0.25% lime was also effective in correcting zinc deficiency.
