Abstract:
The inception of integrated nutrient management directs to the maintenance or enhancement of soil fertility and nutrient supply to an optimum level so as to sustain the anticipated crop productivity by optimising the perks from all potential sources of nutrients in a conjunctive approach. A field experiment was conducted at Advance Centre for Rain fed Agriculture at Rakh Dhiansar, Sher-e-Kashmir university of Agricultural Sciences and Technology-Jammu, during two consecutive years 2016 and 2017 to study the effect of phosphorus, molybdenum and organics (Rhizobium and phosphorus solubilizing bacteria). The results revealed that application of different treatments did not yield any significant result on soil pH and EC during both the years. Water holding capacity and soil porosity significantly improved by the incorporation of farmyard manure along with inorganics and biofertilizers. Further, available N, P, K and Mo significantly enhanced after harvesting of blackgram due to the integrated application of organics and inorganics under treatment T₁₃ (40 kg P + 0.5 kg Mo + PSB + Rhizobium + FYM) over T₁ (control) during both the years of study.
