Effect of foliar application of water soluble fertilizers on quality and economics of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub) grown under south Gujarat condition

A field experiment with object to study the effect of nutrient management on growth, yield, quality and economics of cluster bean (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub) grown under south Gujarat condition was conducted at ‘B’ Block, College farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during summer season, 2018. Among the seven treatments, foliar spray of cow urine (1%) at 45, 75 and 105 DAS (T4) found to be significant with respect to protein content of cluster bean with a tune figure of 14.31%. The fibre content did not differed significantly due to foliar application of organic and inorganic water soluble fertilizers. However, the maximum gross realization of 207625 ₹ ha-1, net realization of 159653.73 ₹ ha-1 with benefit cost ratio of 3.33 were secured under foliar application of 19-19-19 @ 1% 45, 75 and 105 DAS (T1).
