Effect of imazethapyr and foliar spray of urea on soil and blackgram Brahmbhatt D B

Pulses occupy a unique position in cropping system as a main, catch, cover, green manure and as intercrop. Pulses play an important role in the Indian diet, constituting one of the most effective protein sources in India. As per recommendation of World Health Organization (WHO), minimum requirement of pulses is 80 g per capita per day but the availability of pulses per capita per day is very low. Thus, it becomes essential to increase the production of pulses to meet protein need of increasing population. Pulses also give excellent nutritive forage and grain concentrations for the feed of large cattle population in the country. The field experiment was carried out at AICRP on Weed Control Farm, B. A. College of Agriculture, Anand Agricultural University, Anand on the "Effect of imazethapyr and foliar spray of urea on chemical properties of soil and chemical composition of blackgram (Vigna mungo L.)" during kharif season. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design (Factorial) with four replications.
