Abstract: The present study was carried out during Kharif seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the Agronomy Research Station and in the laboratory of the College of Agriculture, Bhagwant University, Ajmer, (Rajasthan) India. The soil was low in available nitrogen (195 kg ha-1) and phosphorus (18.5 kg ha-1) and medium in available potassium (229 kg ha-1). Average values for bulk density 1.41 g cc-1 and EC were 0.346 ds m-1. Crop response to the treatments was measured in terms of various quantitative and qualitative parameters. For this purpose periodical observation on crop growth characters i.e. plant height, dry matter accumulation and number of leaf was recorded at 25, 50, 75 DAS and at harvest, while leaf area index and chlorophyll content recorded at 25, 50 and 75 DAS and developmental.....
