RABI CROPS
Black Gram (Urad)
Pulses like moong and urad are important for improving soil fertility in Punjab cropping systems.
They fix atmospheric nitrogen, reducing fertilizer requirements for subsequent crops.
Provide a short-duration crop option for diversification and additional income.
Why Your Black Gram Needs Phosphorus?
Root development
& nodulation
Phosphorus promotes strong root growth and enhances nodulation, which is critical for biological nitrogen fixation
Energy transfer
& early growth
It is essential for ATP formation, supporting early plant vigor and establishment
Yield & pod
development
Adequate phosphorus improves flowering, pod setting, and seed development, increasing yield
