Effects of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) - Gobhi sarson (Brassica napus L.) cropping system in sub-tropical region under foothills of north-west Himalayas

Abstract

A pronounced residual effect of organic and inorganic fertilizers, applied in maize crop was observed on yields of maize-gobhi sarson cropping system. The experiment was conducted with 10 treatments of N, P, K, FYM, crop residue and zinc sulphate nutrients. The highest growth, yield and yield components of maize crop were recorded with 100% recommended fertilizer dose-RFD + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha and the grain yield (2409 kg/ha) was about 101% higher over the control. In case of gobhi sarson, the highest seed yield (1081 kg/ha) was observed as a pronounced residual effect of 10 t/ha FYM in preceding maize crop; which was about 81% higher over the control. The treatments where 50% N was substituted by FYM and crop residue in maize crop had the best reflection in enhancing the seed yield of gobhi sarson to the tune of 74 and 70% over the control and 16 and 13% over farmer’s practice. The highest rain water use efficiency (RWUE) and heatuse efficiency (HUE) was recorded in treatment 100% RFD + ZnSO4 20 kg/ha in maize crop and 10 t/ha FYM in gobhi sarson.

Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on System’s Total Productivity, System’s Total Uptake and System’s Total Economics of Maize and Wheat in Maize-Wheat Cropping Sequence in Mid Hills of H.P

“…Data indicated that combined application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients in maize significantly influenced total systems phosphorus uptake during both the years with similar trend as that of N uptake. Treatments, receiving higher amounts of fertilizer NPK resulted in higher uptake of P. Similar results were also reported by Gupta et al, (2014) and Sharma et al, (2014). Fertility treatments in wheat also brought about significant variation in systems total P uptake during both the years.…”

Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth, Productivity and Economics of Hybrid Maize in Odisha State

“…Zaremanesh et al, 2017 also found that the application of vermicompost resulted higher grain yield of maize. Gupta et al, 2014 also reported the higher yield in maize due to integrated application of organics and inorganics source of fertilizer. The higher grain yield with integrated nutrient management treatments might be due to remarkable increase in yield components such Biswasi et al, 2020 as number of grains and grain weight.…”

Integrated nutrient management of rapeseed (Brassica campestris L. var. yellow sarson) grown in a typic haplaquept soil

“…It was reported that long term combined application of zinc, sulfur and along with FYM significantly increased crop yield, uptake and availability of micronutrients in soil over chemical fertilizer alone (Ameta et al, 2014). Researchers (Gupta et al, 2014) also reported that integrated nutrient management increased the economic yield of mustard-based cropping system by 35 % than that without FYM treatment. The present experiment was, therefore, conducted to study the influence of integrated nutrient management (especially FYM, S and Zn) on soil fertility build up as well as yield and quality improvement of rapeseed.…”
