Abstract:
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the "Assessment of economic for integrated nutrient management of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) var. Pant Haritima in the Kabirdham District of Chhattisgarh, India" using Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications and 10 treatments at Krishi Vigyan Kendra farm Newari, Kabirdham under Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, and Chhattisgarh. The treatments used under experimentation are T₁ (Absolute control), T₂ (100% RDF 60:40:30 kg NPK/ha), T₃ (VC @ 3 t/ha), T₄ (FYM @ 10 t/ha), T₅ (30:20:15 kg NPK/ha + VC @ 1.5 t/ha), T₆ (30:20:15 kg NPK/ha + FYM@ 5t/ha), T₇ (VC @ 1.5 t/ha + FYM @ 5 t/ha), T₈ (60:40:30 kg NPK/ha + Azotobacter + PSB), T₉ (VC @ 3 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB), T₁₀ (FYM @ 10 t/ha + Azotobacter + PSB). Findings revealed that the treatment T₅ (30:20:15 kg NPK/ha + VC @ 1.5 t/ha) emerged superior in respected of growth attributes as well as yield of coriander and gave maximum seed yield (23.00 q ha^-1) while treatment T₈ (60:40:30 kg NPK/ha + Azotobacter + PSB), with seed yield (21.83 q ha^-1). In terms of economics, maximum B: C ratio (3.34) was found with T₈ (60:40:30 kg NPK/ha + Azotobacter + PSB) and looking to the B: C ratio, the application of 60:40:30 kg NPK/ha + Azotobacter + PSB was found superior among all the organic and inorganic fertilizers, which will be useful for farming of coriander.
