Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted for evaluated the combined effect of organic manure (FYM) and inorganic fertilizers (Nitrogen) doses on the growth and yield of barley. The experiment consist twelve treatment included three levels of FYM (FYM₀ = 0 t/ha, FYM₁ = 3 t/ha, FYM₂ = 6 t/ha) and four levels of nitrogen (N₀ = 0 kg/haN₁ = 50% RDNN₂ = 75% RDN, N₃ = 100% RDN) in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Maximum value of growth parameters and yield attributes characters was observed with 6 t FYM ha_­­^-1 and 100% RDN ha^-1 levels. Maximum grain yield (4213.9 kg ha^-1) was also recorded with 6 t FYM ha_­­^-1 which was 18.8 and 6.0 per cent significantly higher to control and 3 t FYM ha_­­^-1 levels. Application of nitrogen significantly affected the grain and biological yield as well as harvest index of barley. Under different treatment combination (interactions) of FYM and nitrogen, maximum B:C ratio (2.93) was obtained from FYM₁ x N₃ followed by FYM₂ x N₃ with 2.89 B:C ratio. Whereas minimum B:C ratio (2.44) under control of both parameters (FYM₀ x N_­0).
