What is it about?
Among the pulses grasspea, lentil, mungbean, blackgram, chickpea, fieldpea and cowpea are important. Pulses are grown over 45 countries of the world, and is playing an important role in the agro-economy and human health of Bangladesh [1]. Pulse protein is rich in amino acids like isoleucine, leucine, lysine, valine etc. FAO [2] recommends a minimum pulse intake of 80 g head-1 day-1 whereas; it is only 14.19 g in Bangladesh [3]. This is because of the fact that production of the pulses are not adequate to meet the national demand.

Why is it important?
In Bangladesh, the average yield of blackgram is not a satisfactory level. There are many reasons for a lower yield of blackgram. Nitrogen and weed management in winter season is of them. This study is to find out the effect of nitrogen sources on the yield of different black gram varieties.
Perspectives
From this discussion we can find out, the application of biofertilizer as a source of nitrogen showed superiority over other sources to produce higher seed yield of blackgram.
