Response of NPK and Neem Cake on Soil Properties

A field study was conducted on the “Response of NPK and Neem Cake on Soil properties,
Growth and yield of Cluster bean (Cymopsis tetragonoloba L.) Var-Laxmi-50” at the Soil
Science & Agricultural Chemistry Research Farm, Sam Higginbottom University of
Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj during Kharif season 2018. The soil of
experimental area falls in order Inceptisol and soil texture was sandy loam. treatment was
