Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 59
Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat during summer season of 2015 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on summer pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) under South Gujarat condition.It can be seen that among the various treatments, the application of (T9) FYM @ 2.5 t ha-1 along with recommended dose of fertilizer (120 kg N + 60 kg P2O5 ha-1) and seed inoculation with Azotobacter and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) isresulted in significantly higher growth characters (plant height at 60 DAS, 158.47 cm and at harvest, 174.28 cm and no. of total tillers plant-1 4.93), yield attributes (number of effective tillers plant-1 4.13, earhead length 24.99 cm, earhead girth 3.20 cm), test weight (9.76 g) and grain yield (3631 kg ha-1) and fodder yield (7492 kg ha-1). The maximum net return of (43435 ha-1) along with BCR value of (1.94) was recorded by the application of T9 (T1 + FYM 2.5 t ha-1 + Azotobacter + PSB).
