Residual effects of different soil organic amendments applied to aerobically grown rice (Oryza sativa) on succeeding wheat (Triticum aestivum) under basmatirice-wheat cropping system

摘要

A field experiment was conducted during 2012-14 at Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, to determine the residual effects of different soil organic amendments, viz. control (recommended fertilizer dose); in-situ green manuring of prickly sesban or dhaincha (Sesbania cannabina Willd.) on N-basis; in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of vermicompost on N-basis (1:1); in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of vermicompost and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1); in-situgreen manuring of dhaincha followed by application of farmyard manure (FYM) on N-basis (1:1); and in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of FYM and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1) on productivity, nutrient uptake and economics of basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping rotation. Significant residual effects of different soil organic amendments, viz. in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of vermicompost and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1) and in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of FYM and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1) were observed on succeeding wheat in comparison to the control and rest of the treatments. With residual effect of in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of vermicompost and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1); and in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of farmyard manure (FYM) on N-basis (1:1); grain yield of succeeding wheat was 15.36% and 14.90%, respectively, higher than the control. The highest N : P : K uptake in wheat grain and straw were recorded with residual effect of in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of vermicompost and mulching withdhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1) and in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of FYM and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1); which in turn were significantly superior to the other treatments. The highest net returns of ^44,092/ha andnet returns/rupee invested 2.22 were obtained with residual effect of in-situ green manuring of dhaincha followed by application of vermicompost and mulching with dhaincha on N-basis (1:1:1)
