Effects of resource conservation techniques and cultivars on soil nutrient status, plant nutrient content and yield in mungbean.

摘要: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2009. The main plot treatments consisted of four resource conservation techniques (RCTs) viz. furrow irrigated raised bed system (FIRBS), conventional tillage (CT), zero tillage (ZT) with 5% wheat residue (WR) and ZT with 30% WR; and five cultivars MH124, MH125, MH318, MH421 and Satya were kept in sub-plots making twenty treatment combinations, which were tested in split plot design with three replications. Different RCTs had considerable impact on yield of mungbean and also on nutrient content and uptake by the crop. FIRBS resulted into better yield of all mungbean cultivars. N, P and K content and uptake by various mungbean cultivars and also protein content were higher under FIRBS. However, at crop harvest, available N, P and K in the soil were more under ZT 30% WR. Among five mungbean cultivars, MH125 attained more growth and …
