For growth parameters, data were collected on the number of leaves, plant height, and number of branches per plant. Yield parameters included measurements such as number of pods per plant, pod fresh weight, pod length, pod diameter, and total yield. Each experimental plot consisted of 30 plants, from which data were collected from ten randomly selected plants located in the central rows of each plot to minimize border effects and ensure a representative sample. Observations and measurements were recorded at regular intervals to monitor changes over time. The collected data were systematically organized and tabulated using Microsoft Excel for easy reference and processing. Statistical analysis was performed using the R-STAT software package to evaluate differences and relationships among the treatments. To determine the significance of differences between treatment means, Duncan's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) was applied at a 5% level of significance. This ensured that the results were statistically robust and provided clear distinctions between the effects of different treatments.
