Abstract

Aims: The increasing cost and unavailability of fertilizers, poor soil health, growing ecological concern, consumer health problems and the government’s interest in promoting the organic farming have forced to try new methods of application of nutrients in the form of liquid organic formulations. Hence, the present investigation was aimed to know the effect of liquid organic formulations on productivity and profitability of mungbean crop under semi-arid environment of Rajasthan. Methods: The field experiment was conducted at Agronomy farm, School of Agriculture, OPJS University Churu, Rajasthan. This experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications, consist of twelve treatments namely Control, Water spray, Panchgavya (2 spray), Vermiwash (2 spray), Cow urine (2 spray), Matka khad (2 spray), Panchgavya + Vermiwash, Panchgavya + Cow urine, Panchgavya + Matka khad, Vermiwash + Cow urine, Vermiwash + Matka khad and Cow urine + Matka khad. Results: The results revealed that independent two spray of panchgavya and spray of panchgavya+ vermiwash (one spray of each) resulted significantly higher crop growth attributes, yield attributes and yields as well as net returns of mungbean. The said treatments recorded highest grain yields (1128 and 1051 kg/ha), net return (55576 and 49361 Rs/ha) and befit cost ratio (2.30 and 2.07) which was significant over rest of the treatments. According to our findings independent two spray of panchgavya at 25 and 45 DAS and combined spray of panchgavya + vermiwash (one spray of each) is recommended for higher productivity with more economic returns.
