Abstract

On-Farm Trials on Yield enhancement in redgram through basal application of Potassium and Zinc sulphate were conducted in sandy loam soils under rainfed condition in western mandals of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh during 2017-18 to 2019-20 in 5 farmers fields in 2.0 ha during each year. Treatments comprised of basal application of Nitrogen @ 20 kg/ha, Phosphorus @ 50kg/ha, Potash @ 60 kg/ha and Zinc sulphate @ 25 kg/ha were applied to Redgram. In check plot FYM @ 20 q/ac was applied. Yield attributes viz. number of pods/plant (223), 100 seed weight (11.1 g), yield (4.2 q/ha) and B: C ratio (1.1) were significantly higher in case of treatment plot compared to check plot with number of pods/plant (194.3), 100 seed weight (9.2 g), yield (3.3 q/ha) and B: C ratio (1.0)
