Abstract:
The field experiment was carried out at Department of Soil Science, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology and Science, Allahabad, India during
rabi season. The experiment was laid out in 3×3 factorial randomized block design with 9 treatments in three replications. It was observed that the growth characters in treatment T
