Description |
An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2005 to 2007 at Avikanagar, Rajasthan to find out the effect of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with varying levels and times of N application under semi-arid condition of Rajasthan. Application of 90 kg N/ha recorded significantly higher growth-attributing characters and dry matter accumulation over other doses of nitrogen. Application of 90 kg N/ha gave significantly higher green fodder (32.01 tonnes/ha), dry forage (8.22 tonnes/ha) and grain yield (3.57 tonnes/ha) over 30 and 60 kg N/ha, respectively. Application of 90 and 60 kg N/ha resulted an increase of 22.22% and 11.38% green fodder, 13.07 and 7.57% in dry forage and 35.23% and 15.91% grain yield, respectively over the 30 kg N/ha. Nitrogen-use efficiency showed decreasing trend and the maximum nitrogen-use efficiency was recorded with 30 kg N/ha application (848.19). Nitrogen content and uptake, crude protein content and protein yield were increased progressively with successive levels of nitrogen levels. The B:C ratio was recorded highest with 90 kg N/ha (2.40) and significantly higher than 30 and 60 kg N/ha (2.23 and 2.34). Crude protein content (7.17%) and protein yield (545.09 kg/ha) was increased with successive times of nitrogen application and was found significantly higher with three splits of nitrogen application. The maximum net returns (` 16 895/ha) and B:C ratio (2.43) was recorded when nitrogen were applied as 1/3 N at sowing + 1/3 N at Crown root initiation+ 1/3 N at tillering.
