Effect of Organic Manure and Fertilisers on Growth and Yield of Pearlmillet-Mustard Cropping System

摘要

A field experiment was conducted in pearlmillet - mustard cropping system during the year 2003-04 and 2004-05 at Regional Research Station, Bawal, CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with four pearlmillet varieties in main plot and eight fertility levels in sub-plots having three replications. The objective of the experiment was to evaluate the integrated nutrient management treatments in pearlmillet - mustard cropping system in loamy sand soils. Different treatments were tried during Kharif season, while in Rabi season only residual effect on succeeding mustard (variety, RH-30) crop was seen. In pearlmillet, hybrid HHB -117 recorded highest yield attributes and yield over rest of the varieties. The pooled grain yield was recorded highest with 100 % RD in conjunction with vermicompost and biofertiliser (19.54 q/ha). Application of 100 % RD and 75%RD + vermicompost + biofertiliser also gave comparable yields. Application of fertiliser integrated with organic manure to pearlmillet crop left behind sufficient residual effect, which tended significant increase in yield attributes and yields of mustard across the years as well as in the pooled data of the two years.
