Thermal Response of Spring–Summer-Grown Black Gram (<i>Vigna mungo</i> L. Hepper) in Indian Subtropics

The thermal environment of a crop is one of the prime factors enhancing growth and production by regulating its physiological processes at different phenophases. To study the impact of thermal regime on spring–summer-grown black gram (variety Pant Urd 31), an experiment was conducted with different...

description The thermal environment of a crop is one of the prime factors enhancing growth and production by regulating its physiological processes at different phenophases.
