EFFECT OF INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON PRODUCTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF PEARL MILLETVishal Gunge and Abhinandan SinghAbstract The present study was carried in the field of Crop Research Centre â 1. ITM University, Gwalior, (M.P). The experimental site had a uniform topography and normal fertility status of the soil. There was total 10 treatments comprising of various nutrient sources and evaluated in Randomised Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The treatments consisted of T1 Control, T2 100%RDF (60:30:20 kg NPK ha-1), T3 75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost, T4 75%RDF +25%FYM, T5 125%RDF, T6 100 % RDF + 25% Vermicompost, T7 100% RDF + 25% FYM , T8 50% RDF + 25% FYM + 25 % Vermicompost, T9 75% RDF + 25% Vermicompost + 25 % FYM, and T10 75% RDF +12.5% Vermicompost + 12.5% FYM. The various parameters viz., growth parameter, yield parameters, nutrient content and economics were studies in this investigation. The results showed that application of 75% RDF+25% Vermicompost +25% FYM (T9) proved higher growth, yield attributes, yield and economics as net return and B-C ratio compared to other treatments. |
