Abstract:
The basic concept of integrated nutrient management in cropping system is the supply of plant nutrients to an optimum level for sustaining the desired crop productivity. In this context, pulse-fodder based cropping system gain more importance. Field experiments were carried out during rabi and summer seasons of 2019-20 and 2020-21 at College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. The experiment consisted nine treatment of integrated nutrient management to chickpea in rabi season replicated three times in randomized block design. During summer season each main plot treatment was split into two sub plot treatments with different levels of RDF to fodder sorghum resulting in eighteen treatment combinations replicated three times. Application of In chickpea-fodder sorghum sequence significantly higher productivity and profitability obtained with 75% RDF + Bio compost 2.5 t/ha + Banana pseudostem enriched sap (1% spray) at 30 DAS and 45 DAS to chickpea and along with 75% RDF to summer fodder sorghum.
