Plant Nutrient Management

  • Yield of 1t green gram/ha removes 40kg N, 3-4 kg P, 10-12 kg K, 1-1.5 kg Ca, 1.5-2 kg each of S and Mg.
  • Requires 15t/ha FYM, 10-15:30-50:30 kg N, P2O5 and K2O/ha.
  • It is beneficial to apply 15-25kg ZnSO4, 20-30kg S and 1 kg Sod. Molybdate per ha.
  • P- improves primary yield components such as pods/plant, seeds/pod and seed weight, increased nodule number.
  • Foliar fertilization (3% DAP)- improve protein content, pods/plant, shelling %, grain wt.
  • Mo- improves nodulation, N-fixation and higher yield.
  • In Nepal, 4-6t/ha FYM; 20:20:20 kg NPK/ha.
