Physiology, Growth, and Productivity of Spring–Summer Black Gram (<i>Vigna mungo</i> L. Hepper) as Influenced by Heat and Moisture Stresses in Different Dates of Sowing and Nutrient Management Conditions

Heat and soil moisture stress account for serious abiotic constraint in black gram (<i>Vigna mungo</i> (L.) Hepper) production during spring–summer under Gangetic plains of Eastern India. Concurrence of these two can bring about early completion of phenophases that hampers normal metabol...
