Effect of integrated nutrient management on nutrient supply, productivity and soil fertility in Pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)

Abstract

An experiment was conducted for 2 years (2018 and 2019) at Oilseed Research Farm, Kalyanpur, C. S. A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India to evaluate the effect of nutrient management practices on growth and yield of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br. Emend. Stuntz.). Highest yield was observed in 5t FYM/ha application over control. Each unit increase in N level led to significant increase in growth, yield attributing characters and yield of pearlmillet. The maximum grain yield (24.2q/ha) was recorded with highest N level. Combined inoculation of Azospirillum + PSB increased the growth, yield attributes and yields significantly. The monetary returns were found in similar trends. Application of organic manure and bio-fertilizers resulted in desirable post-harvest soil status with more organic carbon (OC), Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potash (K).

Economic analysis of marigold production under the different applications of organic manures

“…The results indicated that application of Poultry beat compare to other organic manure gives better result due to this number of flowers per plant, fresh weight of flower, no of branches per plant and yield per hectare found higher followed by T6, T5, T3, T4, T1, T2 and T8 respectively.

“…The production of high value cash crops such as flowers has always been more beneficial to the farmers than the traditional crops but the marketing, post-harvest management and value addition significantly affected the income of the cultivators/farmers.

“…The comparatively higher per hectare farm business income in Sugarcane-Wheat cropping system was due to higher rental value of land on which particular cropping system was followed.
