Abstract:
Two successive field experiments were conducted during kharif 2019 and 2020 at the Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture and technology Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. The experiment consisted of fourteen different treatments in randomized block design replicated thrice. Soil of the experimental field was sandy clay loam in texture and neutral in reaction with low in nitrogen and medium in available phosphorus and potassium. Result revealed that higher grain yield (41.45q/ha) and (40.10 q/ha) was recorded with the treatment consisting application of application of 25% N of recommended dose through dhaincha on planting date rest of nitrogen through chemical fertilizer (T₅) during 2019 and application of 25% recommended N through vermicompost 10 DBP + rest N through chemical fertilizer during 2020.During both the years higher straw yield 69.23 qh^-1 and 67.00 qh^-1 was recorded in T₅. This treatment also resulted in comparatively higher B:C ratio during both the years.
