Abstract

A field investigation was carried out at Annamalai University Experimental Farm, Annamalai Nagar during January to March 1989 to study the effect of seed pelleting with biodigested slurry and inorganic nutrients on rice fallow green gram cv. Co-2. Biogas fresh slurry at 10, 25 and 50 per cent (w/w of seed) was used as seed pelleting medium with or without DAP 5 per cent and muriate of potash (MOP) 5 per cent. Slurry at all three concentrations influenced favourably the grain yields. Slurry at 50 per cent with 15 per cent DAP gave increased grain yield of 589 kg ha -1 over unpelleted seeds. The yield increase was marginal with respect to potash treatments.
