Abstract:
A field experiment entitled “Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management and Panchgavya spray on growth and yield of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) was conducted during Kharif 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P). The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.8), low in organic carbon (0.35%), available N (243 kg/ha), available P (20.10 kg/ha) and available K (105 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design, with nine treatments consists of viz., 1: (RDF 50% + FYM 5t/ha) +P₁- 3%, 2: (RDF 50% + FYM 5t/ha) +P₂ - 6%, 3: (RDF 50% + FYM 5t/ha) +P₂ -9%, 4: (RDF 75% +FYM 5t/ha) + P₁ -3%, 5: (RDF 75% + FYM 5t/ha) + P₂ -6%, 6: (RDF 75% + FYM 5t/ha) + P₃- 9%, 7: (RDF 100% +FYM 5t/ha) + P₁ - 3%, 8: (RDF 100% + FYM 5t/ha) +P₂- 6%, 9: (RDF 100% + FYM 5t/ha) + P₃ - 9% and were replicated thrice. Results obtained that there was significant increase in growth parameters viz., Plant height (90.17), Number of tillers/hill (12.33), Dry matter accumulation (44.93/hill), Crop growth rate (16.78 g/day/m²) and yield attributes viz., Grain yield (6.28 t/ha), Straw yield (7.91t/ha) and Harvest index (44.25%) were recorded with the application of (RDF 100% + FYM 5t/ha) +P₂- 6%. Therefore, it is concluded that the application of (RDF 100% + FYM 5t/ha) +P₂-6% was more productive and economically feasible.
