Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season in 2021-22 and 2022-23. Both years experiments were suited on heavy clay soil at Agriculture Research Farm, College of Agriculture, Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda. Experiment was laidout in randomized block design in three replications with 15 treatments as Influenced integrated nutrient management options of mustard on physico-chemical properties of Vertisols. Nutrients in different treatments were applied through organic and inorganic nutrient sources as and when required as per treatment combination. It was recorded that integrated application nutrients (T₇- 100% RDF+5 ton FYM+ bio-consortia +Nano Zn) reduces the soil bulk density and particle density and increase the porosity in compare to control. the Soil pH and EC were numerically different within the treatments but statistically non-significant. The influence of the INM module on both soil organic carbon and total carbon of soil numerically slightly improved but statistically it was also non- significantly. Overall, the application of organic and inorganic sources of nutrients improves physico- chemical properties of soil.
