Abstract
The experiment comprising four treatments of FYM (control, 10:15:20 t FYM /ha) and four treatments of Thiourea (control, Thiourea @ 500:750:1000 ppm) thus, making sixteen treatment combinations were tested in randomized block design with three replications at Horticulture Farm, S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during Kharif 2020-21. The study revealed that the application of FYM @ 20 t/ha along with thiourea @ 1000 ppm significantly increased the plant height (136.82 cm 60 DAS), number of branches (9.86), plant spread (49.31 cm2), leaf area (2472.64 cm2) at 60 DAS, chlorophyll content in leaves (1.97 mg/g) at 45 DAS, number of pod per plant (59.77), pod length (9.15 cm)fresh weight of pod per plant (121.30 g), pod yield (9913 kg/ha) and number of seed per pod (9.15) over control in cluster bean crop.
