Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif 2020 at SHUATS Model Organic Farm (SMOF), Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P).The Effect of seed inoculants and organic manures on growth and yield of organic pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.).The treatments consisted of seed inoculants viz., Azotobacter (25g/kg seed), Azospirilum (25g/kg seed), Azotobacter +Azospirillum and organic manures viz., FYM (12t/ha), Poultry manure (2t/ha), Vermicompost (4t/ha).The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) there are 10 treatments which are replicated thrice. Application of Azotobacter +Azospirillum + 2t/ha of Poultry manure recorded significantly higher grain yield (4.63 t/ha) and Stover yield (6.79t/ha). The application of Azotobacter +Azospirillum +2t/ha poultry manure was recorded higher gross returns (1,22,268.00 ₹/ha), net return (81,412.70 ₹/ha) and B:C ratio (1.99) among all treatments.
