The effect of paddy and coffee husk as the organic manure on the vegetative parameters of moth bean [Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq) marechal]
The present study shows the influence of the agro industrial wastes paddy and coffee husks and its effect on the vegetative growth and yield parameters of moth bean (
Vigna aconitifolia(Jacq) Marechal) the results are as shown in Table (1-4).
Root length was observed during 20, 40 and 60 DAS and it is found to be high in treatment 6 (Pre decomposed Coffee husk, consortium of
Pleurotus eous,
P.
florida,
Trichoderma asperelloides and
Eisenia fetida (8.5,12.9 and 16.1 cm) among all the treatments and it is followed by the treatment 3 (Pre decomposed paddy husk, consortium of
Pleurotus eous,
P.
florida,
Trichoderma asperelloides and
Eisenia fetida.) (7.1, 12.2 and 15.8 cm) when compared to control (3.9, 9.7 and 12.4 cm).
Significantly the increased growth of the Shoot length also observed in Treatment 6 (15.2, 30.3 and 43.2 cm) followed by treatment 3 (14.9, 29.2 and 41.0 cm) compared to control (9.2, 19.5 and 27.2 cm). A marvelous improvement in number of leaves was observed in treatment 6 (11, 18 and 49) (Table 2) when compared to treatment 3 (9, 16 and 45) and control (7, 11 and 21).
Number of nodules as it is showed in Table 2 there was increase in 20 DAS to 40 DAS later there is decreasing trend found at 60 DAS and the highest number of nodules obtained in treatment 6 (12, 20 and 9) followed by treatment 3 (10, 19 and 8) compared to control (5, 10 and 3).
Fresh weight and dry weight
According to Table 3 the maximum fresh weight(4.83,8.98 and 15.47 g) and dry weight (1.11, 3.56 and 4.37 g)of test crop was found in treatment 6 and it is followed by treatment 3 (4.11,7.99 and 14.97 g) (0.99, 3.32 and 4.19 g) compared to the control (2.97,6.02 and 10.79 g),(0.45,2.14 and 3.09 g). The present study is in par with the results of
Raihing and Vijayalakshmi, (2021) where the effect of fruit and vegetable vermicompost on lablab (
Lablab purpureus (L) Sweet) showed the highest shoot length in T8 Treatment (113.7, 124.5 and 135 cm) on 15, 35 and 55 days after sowing (DAS).
Manivannan et al., (2009) found in
Phaseolus vulgaris, when applied with vermicompost and NPK gave good results in growth parameters such as root length (22.5 cm) shoot length (69.1 cm) and number of nodules (39).
According to
Harireddy and Joy Dawson, (2021) during harvest time the vermicompost application (6 t/ha) with
Rhizobium and
Azospirillum has resulted in the maximum growth of plant height (40.20 cm) comparatively it is superior to the other treatments. The influencing factors are always for the growth of the plant height and it is of the nutrients which are from the organic manures and biofertilizers work as the available nutrients for the best growth of the plant height
(Darshanth and Singh, 2014). Highest number of leaves (13.66) were found in leafy vegetables with the treatment of dead sheep compost in comparison with control (8.66)
(Al-Sabbagh et al., 2020).Similar results were observed by
Kavya et al., (2021) that on applying RDF + Fe 0.5% + Zn 0.5% + Mn 0.5% recorded maximum height of the plant (42.42) at 60 DAS in
Vigna radiata L.
Influence of paddy and coffee husk as the organic manure on the yield parameters of the moth bean [Vigna aconitifolia(Jacq) Marechal] at 90 DAS
The yield concept always based on the quantitative idea of the fertilizer is based on yield and nutritional requirement of the crop and the nutrient of the soil available with that of the applied fertilizer
(Regar and Singh 2014; Sakarvadia et al., 2021).
The remarkable number of pods/plant, length of pod, number of seeds/pod, weight of the seeds/pod, pod fresh weight and pod dry weight found in the treatment 6 when it is compared to the control and all the other treatments, the Treatment 6 is followed by 3rdTreatment in its increase. The maximum number of pods/plant (27) number of seeds / pod (6) length of the pod (5.7 cm),weight of the seeds /pod (2.89 g), pod fresh weight (1.653 g) and pod dry weight ( 0.986 g) was found high among all the treatments and the minimum results were found in control as it is shown in Table 4similar findings were found with the work of
Ruheentaj and Sarawad, (2020) with the application of vermicompost on the growth of
Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq) Marechal recorded highest yield (625.0 kg/ha) and significant results also found with the application of vermicompost and FYM in the increase of pod numbers (61.47/plant ), pod length (8.67 cm) seed weight (1.96g) it also coincides with that of findings of
Sadashivanagowda et al., (2017) with incorporation of vermicompost in black gram yield is noticed to be highest. According to
Sipai et al., (2018) with the incorporation of prophenophenol 50% EC at 0.05% and
Helicoverpa in the module 4 showed great results in the growth of the moth bean yield seeds (1316 kg/ha) when compared with all the other modules.
Similar results were observed by
Silpa and Vijayalakshmi, (2021) with the inclusion of Jackfruit peel vermicompost resulted in the highest yield of
Vigna unguiculata(L) Walp in the treatment 8 such as number of pods (21), length of the pod (16.50 cm), weight of the seeds (1.68 g), pod fresh weight (5.711 g) and dry weight (2.398 g). The results of this particular study also is similar to that of
Hasan et al., (2021) with the application of N and P fertilizer on Groundnut plants and found that the plant height (20.65) increased along with the number of pods 74.28% in treatment 15.
Changkija and Gohain, (2018) obtained the significant results in increasing the grain weight (12.07 g) of soy bean with the application of poultry manure in treatment 6. Similar to these results
Zebire and Gelgelo, (2019) reported that there was increase in the yield (74.2 g) of haricot bean with application of P fertilizer.
