The experiment was conducted during summer season of 2016 and 2017 at the research farm of Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya, West Bengal in a Randomized block design with nine treatment in three replication. Pooled data showed that treatment (T6) receiving 25 kg nitrogen/ha recorded highest growth and yield attributes namely, pod/plant (19.49), pod length (10.37 cm), no. of seed /pod (12.57) and 1000 seed weight (49.03), which led to more grain (921 kg/ha) and stover yield (2200 kg/ha) followed by other higher doses of nitrogen. 30 kg nitrogen/ ha (T7) and 35 kg nitrogen/ha (T8). The treatment receiving no nitrogen recorded significantly lowest values of all growth and yield attributes. Seed protein content (21.61%) and protein yield (199 g/ha) were also found to be highest under T6 important for the nutritional aspects which might be due greater availability and uptake of nitrogen (54.60 kg/ha).
