Abstract:
A field study was conducted in kharif season during the year 2021-22 at the Crop research centre -1 of Department of Agronomy, School of Agriculture, ITM University, Gwalior (M.P.). Significantly higher values of growth parameters and yield attributes viz., Plant height at harvest, number of leaves/plant at harvest, dry matter accumulation at harvest and yield attributes such as number of cobs/plant, number of grain/cob, grain yield and straw yield parameter were observed in the treatments 100% RDF + FYM followed by 100% RDF, 75%RDF + Sulphur + FYM + Azospirillum and 75% RDF + FYM (T3), However, significantly minimum values of growth parameters and yield attributes such as plant height at harvest, number of leaves/plant at harvest, dry matter accumulation at harvest and yield attributes such as number of cobs/plant, number of grain/cob, grain yield and straw yield parameter are seen in Control (T0).
The economics point of view, the application of 100% RDF + FYM (T2) resulted in higher net return (₹ 57931) which was closely followed by (T1) 100% RDF, (₹ 50497) and lower net return (₹ 22686) was observed in control (T0). The higher B-C ratio (1.91) was recorded in 100% RDF + FYM (T2) and followed by (T1) 100% RDF (1.55) and lower B-C ratio (0.88) was recorded in control T0.
