Abstract:
Experiments were conducted during kharif 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur (C.G.). The soil of experimental field was clayey (Vertisols) in texture, locally known as “Kanhar” which was low, medium and high in available N, P₂O₅ and K₂O, respectively. Experiment with both the crops i.e. rice and wheat was laid out in randomized block design with four replications having ten treatments. The treatments for both the crops were T₁: control, T₂: 50% RDF, T₃: 100% RDF, T₄: 150% RDF, T₅: 100% RDF+ZnSO₄ (ZnSO₄ Applied only kharif)., T₆: 100% NP, T₇: 100% N, and T₈: 100% RDF+FYM (FYM applied only kharif), T₉: 50% RDF+BGA (BGA applied only kharif), T₉: 50% RDF+GM (GM Applied only kharif). The application of T₄: 150% RDF produced the highest growth yield and yield attributing parameters which was statistically similar to the treatments of T_3:100% RDF, T₅:100% RDF + ZnSO₄, T₆: 100% N and P₂O₅ and T_8: 100%+FYM, at all stages of crop growth. The lowest growth and yield attributing parameters were observed under control where no nutrient was applied during both the years and on mean basis.
