Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the “Effect of iron and zinc enriched organics (FYM and Vermicompost) on quality and yield of kharif greengram (Vigna radiata L.) in loamy sand.†at C. P. College of Agriculture, SDAU, Sardarkrushinagar during kharif, 2018. Total ten treatments were tried in randomized block design with three replications. Treatment consists of an application of FYM and vermicompost alone, applying the iron and zinc as such with FYM and Vermicompost as well as enriched with organics (FYM & Vermicpmpost). An application of RDF + 0.2 t vermicompost ha-1 enriched with 1.5 kg Fe ha-1 produced significantly higher numbers of pods per plant (17.80), number of seeds per pod (7.99), 100-seed weight (4.83 g), seed yield (734 kg/ha) and stover yield (1431 kg/ha), but it was remained at par with all Fe or Zn enriched organics treatments. The total uptake of N, P and S in seed and stover by greengram crop were significantly higher under Fe or Zn enriched organics (FYM or vermicompost) treatments. The application of RDF + 0.2 vermicompost/ha enriched with 1.5 kg Fe/ha recorded significantly the highest uptake of Fe by greengram, while the uptake of Zn in seed and stover by greengram crop was significantly higher under RDF + 0.2 t vermicompost/ha enriched with 0.75 kg Zn/ha. The available P2O5 content in soil were significantly increased under Fe or Zn enriched organics (FYM or vermicompost) treatments. The significant improvement in available S status in all treatments which are received the Fe and Zn in the form of ferrous sulphate and zinc sulphate, respectively. The significant higher build-up of Fe and Zn content were found with their application through enrichment as well as through straight application of Fe and Zn.
