Description The field study entitled “Effect of resource conservation technologies and nitrogen scheduling
on the growth, yield and quality of barley in sequence with no-till pearl millet and clusterbean” was
carried out at research farm of CCS HAU Regional Research Station, Bawal, Rewari during rabi
season 2010-11. The experiment including two cropping systems (No-till pearl millet-barley and Notill
clusterbean-barley) and three resource conservation technologies (RCTs) (Conventional tillage- CT,
furrow irrigated raised bed system-FIRBS and zero tillage-ZT) as main plots and three methods of
nitrogen scheduling (½ N basal + ½ N at 1st irrigation(N1), full N at 1st irrigation(N2) and 1/3rd N basal
+ 2/3rd N at 1st irrigation(N3)) as sub-plots, was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The
net plot size was 4.0 m x 3.0 m. Sowing of barley (Variety BH 393) was done on 21 November, 2010
using seed rate of 87.5 kg/ha and the crop was harvested on 18 March, 2011. Sowing under ZT and CT
was accomplished with zero-till seed-cum-fertilizer drill and ravi seed drill, respectively while it was
done with bed planter in FIRBS. The data revealed that grain yield in no-till clusterbean-barley
(4549kg/ha) was significantly higher than the pearl millet-barley (4440 kg/ha) cropping system along
with significantly higher periodic growth parameters (plant height, dry matter accumulation), yield
attributes (spike length), nutrient uptake and quality parameters (hectolitre weight). The grain yield
under ZT (4605 kg/ha) was significantly higher than CT (4472 kg/ha) and FIRBS (4408 kg/ha). The
grain yield in FIRBS was low inspite of higher yield attributes (tillers/m.r.l, spike length, grains/spike
and 1000-grain weight) due to less plant population per unit area as compared to CT and ZT. Due to
probably uniform availability of proper amount of nitrogen during the growth period of crop, the grain
yield under N1 (4566 kg/ha) was statistically at par with N3 (4501 kg/ha) but it was significantly higher
than N2 (4418 kg/ha). The malt content was significantly higher under N2 due to the low protein
content as compared to N1 and N3 in barley grain. WUE was higher when barley grown in sequence
with no-till clusterbean under FIRBS and N was applied by N1. The higher net return and benefit cost
ratio in barley were attained under ZT in sequence with no-till clusterbean and when fertilized with ½
N as basal and ½ N at 1st irrigation.
