Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2023-24 on loamy sand of in the rural area of
Kanpur district of Mandhana, located 10 km from Kanpur in Uttar Pradesh to Effect of Integrated Nutrient
Management Productivity and Economics of Kharif Greengram (Vigna mungo L.). The soil was normal in
pH of 7.62, electrical conductivity (EC) of 0.25 dSm
-1
, organic carbon content of 0.42%, and available
nutrients including nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) at levels of 216.01, 19.51, and 149.56
kg ha
-1
, respectively. The experiment was laid out during Rabi season of 2023-24. The experiment
consisted of 20 treatment combinations, (four levels of FYM and five levels of phosphorus and PSB) was
laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three replications.

Introduction
One of the major pulse crops farmed in our nation's arid and semi-arid regions is greengram, or
Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek. Among pulses, greengram comes in third place, behind pigeon pea
and chickpea. In addition to being grown as a catch crop in between the rabi and kharif seasons,
it is a short-duration kharif pulse crop. In regions with variable rainfall, it can be grown
successfully on well-drained loamy to sandy loam soil because of its moderate drought
tolerance. It can also be used as a crop for green manure in the summer. Since it is a leguminous
crop, atmospheric nitrogen can be fixed by it. After the mature pods are removed, the green
plants are used as fodder. Greengram is a great source of protein (about 25%), containing high
levels of tryptophan (60 mg/g N) and lysine (4600 mg/g N). It can be prepared in various ways
for table use and is also eaten as a whole grain. Patients prefer greengram because they believe it
to be readily absorbed. Greengram seeds produce ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, when they are
allowed to sprout. Additionally, there is an increase in thiamine and riboflavin.
Pulses are a significant commodity crop group that offer high-quality protein to supplement
cereal proteins for the nation's sizable vegetarian population. About 20 percent of the land used
for growing food grains is dedicated to pulses, which also produce 7–10 percent of the nation's
total food grains.
The world's biggest producer, importer, and consumer of pulses is India. 25% of the world's
pulses are produced in India. It is the world's largest importer of pulses at 14% and consumes
27% of the total amount consumed worldwide.
The area planted to pulses increased from 19 million hectares in 1950–1951 to 28 million
hectares in 2020–21; in contrast, during the same period, pulse production increased from 8.41
million hectares to 24 million hectares, a rise of more than 200 percent. In 2021–2022, the pulse
yield per hectare is 823 kg/hectare.
The most common pulse, accounting for about 40% of the total production, is chickpea. It is
followed in percentage terms by tur/arhar (15–20%), Urd/Black Matpe, and moong (8–10%).
Karnataka, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh are the top five states that produce
pulses.
Even though they are grown in both the Kharif and Rabi seasons, over 60% of the production
comes from Rabi pulses. The commodity has three crop seasons: Rabi, which includes Gram,
