Abstract: A Field experiment was conducted in kharif season 2016-17 at experimental farm of Department of Soil Science and Agril. Chemistry, College of Agriculture, Badnapur using black gram as a test crop to study the effect of graded levels of potassium on growth, yield and quality of black gram. The experiment was laid out on Vertisols with six treatment combination, replicated four times in randomized block design. The treatment consists of T1 Absolute control (No fertilizer application), T2 RDF (25:50:00 N, P2O5 and K2O ha-1 kg ha-1), T3 (RDF + 15 kg K2O ha-1), T4 (RDF + 30 kg K2O ha-1), T5 (RDF + 45 kg K2O ha-1), T6 (RDF+ 60 kg K2O ha-1). The results emerged out clearly indicated that various growth parameters like plant height, germination percentage, number of pods, dry matter and seed yield was increased due to application of potassium. It was inferred from the results that application of 25 kg N, 50 kg P2O5 and 30 kg K2O per hectare found superior over only N and P application i.e. RDF (25:50:00 N, P2O5 and K2O kg ha-1). The K application showed synergistic effects on other nutrients (N, P, K) uptake. Soil fertility was also found to be improved due to application of potassium to black gram.
