Effect of Saline Water Irrigation, Organics and Nitrogen on Yield and Yield Attributes of Jowar (Sorghum bicolor L.)

摘要

A field experiment conducted during kharifseasons of 1990 and 1991 revealed that irrigation levels did not influence the yield of Jowar. However, different organic manures and nitrogen alone or their combination had a significant effect on yield and yield attributing characters of jowar when irrigated with saline water. Maximum grain yield was obtained with Daincha @ 5 t/ha + 50 kg N/ha followed by FYM @ 15 t/ha + 50-kg N/ha treatments in the first year while 125 kg N/ha treatments in the second year, whereas FYM @ 15 t/ha + 50 kg N/ha and 125 kg N/ha gave constantly higher straw yield in both the years of study.
