The present study pertains to the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) techniques on seed cotton yield, economics and soil physico-chemical properties under rainfed condition. The 10 different treatments combinations comprising of organic and inorganic fertilizers (NPK), gypsum, castor cake, compost and vermi-compost were studied. The experimental result showed that the significantly highest seed cotton yield and highest net return were recorded under treatment T 9 (80 kg haG 1 + 10 t compost haG 1 +500 kg castor cake haG 1 + bio-fertilizer-Azotobacter+ PSM). The effect of different treatments on EC, organic carbon, available phosphorus and potash and sulphur status in the soil were found significant and the maximum availability of most of the micronutrients were recorded on account of application of compost at 10 t haG 1 + vermi compost at 1 t haG 1 + castor cake at 500 kg haG 1 + bio-fertilizer (Azotobacter+PSM). Bulk density of soil was found to reduced due to application of organic alone (i.e., compost at 10 t haG 1 , compost at 10 t haG 1 +vermi compost at 1 t haG 1 + castor cake at 500 kg haG 1 + bio-fertilizer (Azotobacter+PSM) or integration of organic and inorganic sources of nutrient (N at 80 kg haG 1 +castor cake 500 at kg haG 1 and N at 80 kg haG 1 +compost at 10 t haG 1 +castor cake at 500 kg haG 1 +bio-fertilizer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
