The present investigation was carried out with 30 blackgram genotypes to compare the mean performance under organic and inorganic fertilizer managements. The results revealed that the genotypes differed in their performance under both the environments. PU-31 was found to be better performing genotype for yield and water use efficiency traits under both the managements. Although plant growth was good under organic fertilizer management, higher yields could not be recorded. This necessitates the need to develop cultivars suitable for organic fertilizer management and emphasizes the importance of selection in the target environment.
Yield, water use efficiency, blackgram.
