Integrated nutrient management emerges as first step towards sustainable agriculture and its influence on economics, maximum benefit cost ratio and available soil nutrient in chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grand/flora Tzvelev) under Chhattisgarh Plains

摘要

An investigation was conducted to study the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on economics, maximum benefit cost ratio and available soil nutrient in Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandifloraTzvelev) under Chhattisgarh Plains in the year 2012-2013. The treatment receiving Azospirillum, phosphorous solubilising bacteria (PSB), Farm Yard Manure (FYM) and 50% Recommended Dose of Fertilizers (RDF) resulted maximum available soil Nitrogen (264.88 kgha~(-1)) however maximum available soil Phosphorous(23.49 kgha~(-1)) and maximum available soil Potassium (414.48 kgha~(-1)) recorded under treatment receiving Azo+PSB+50% RD 'N' through VC+50%RDF whereas, the economic analysis clearly indicated that maximum net return per hectare (287344 Rsha~(-1)) and
