Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted in rabi season during 2017-18 and 2018-19 to study the nutrient status of plant and soil as influenced under integrated nutrient management in barley at Department of Agronomy, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. The experiment was laid out Randomized Block Design (Factorial) with comprised combinations of six fertility levels and four liquid bio inoculants. The results indicate that significantly higher N, P and K content in grain and straw of barley thereby total uptake was recorded under the influence 125% RDF + 5 t FYM ha^-1 over rest of fertility levels but remained at par with 100% RDF + 5 t FYM ha^-1 during both years. The barley crop under influence of conjoint inoculation with liquid bio fertilizers consisting combination of Azotobacter + Azospirillum + Phosphates solubilizer + PGPR accumulated maximum N, P and K content in grain and straw thereby total uptake which was found at par with inoculation of Azotobacter + PSB inoculation and both these treatment significantly enhanced N, P and K content in grain and straw thereby total uptake over inoculation of Azotobacter and PSB alone during investigation.
