Description |
An experiment involving three sowing methods and four integrated nutrient management practices was undertaken at Rajeev Gandhi South Campus, Banaras Hindu University in factorial randomized complete block de - sign with three replications. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of sowing methods and integrated nutri - ents management practices on performance of pearl millet under agri - horti system. The sowing methods and inte - grated nutrient management practices significantly (P=0.05) influenced performance of pearl millet. Adoption of ridge and furrow sowing method recorded higher growth [plant height (147.7 cm), dry weight (72.7 g), and number of till - ers plant - 1 (2.0)], yield attributes [effective tillers hill - 1 (1.77), panicle length (17.9 cm), grains panicle - 1 (1508.3), grains weight panicle - 1 (13.9), and test weight (9.23 g)], yields [ grain yield (1412 kg ha - 1), and stover yield (3972 kg ha - 1)], and economics net returns (Rs. 36371 ha - 1), and B:C ratio (1.79) than broadcasting and raised bed. Applica - tion of 50% recommended dose of fertilizer + 50% poultry manure resulted higher growth [plant height (151.9 cm), dry weight (79.7 g), and number of tillers plant - 1 (2.22)], yield attributes[effective tillers hill - 1(2.0), panicle length (18.8 cm), grains panicle - 1 (1615.6), grains weight panicle - 1 (14.5), and test weight (9.76 g)], yields [ grain yield (1552 kg ha - 1), and stover yield (4360 kg ha - 1)] and economics net returns (Rs. 38227 ha - 1), and B:C ratio (1.77) than remain - ing integrated nutrient management practices. The combination of ridge and furrow and 50% recommended dose of fertilizer + 50% poultry manure was adjudged to be better for pearl millet performance.
