Effect of Boron and Molybdenum on Summer Green Gram (Vigna Radiata L.) (GM-4) Under Medium Black Calcareous Soils: A Review

Abstract

A pot experiment was conducted at Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to assess the “Effect of boron and molybdenum on summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.) (GM-4) under medium black calcareous soil” during the summer season of 2016 with comprising of four levels each of boron viz., 0, 2, 4 and 6 kg B ha-1 and four levels of molybdenum viz., 0, 0.75, 1.50 and 2.25 kg Mo ha-1in Factorial Completely Randomization Design replicated three times were tested in the experiment, in respect of yield, yield attributes, content and uptake of nutrients (N, P, K, S, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B and Mo) in seed and straw of summer green gram and status of soil available nutrients (N, P, K, S, Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, B and Mo) after harvest of green gram.
