Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2022-2023 at the instructional farm, AKS, University, Sherganj, Satna (M.P.) site is situated at the latitude of 230 58’ N and longitude of 80 0 81, East in kymore plateau of M.P. The experiment consisted of 12 treatments in randomized block design with 3 replications viz; T₁ N0 V1 0 kg N/ha + JB-1, T₂ N0 V2 0 kg N/ha + JB-2, T₃ N0 V3 0 kg N/ha + JB-58, T₄ N1 V1 60 kg N/ha + JB-1, T₅ N1 V2 60 kg N/ha + JB-2, T₆ N1 V3 60 kg N/ha + JB-58, T₇ N2 V1 80 kg N/ha + JB-1, T₈ N2 V2 80 kg N/ha + JB-2 T₉ N2 V3 80 kg N/ha + JB-58, T₁₀ N3 V1 100 kg N/ha + JB-1, T₁₁ N3 V2 100 kg N/ha + JB-2, T₁₂ N3 V3 100 kg N/ha + JB-58. Maximum growth formation up to 90 days stage, the maximum plant height was 82.82 cm, leaves 8.64/plant and formation of tillers 8.69 per plant with the application of 100 kg N/ha. the barley varieties, JB-58 resulted in significantly higher length of spike (8.45 cm), number of healthy seeds (54.49/spike), test weight (41.98 g) and seed yield (18.65/plant). The second and third best varieties were JB-2 and JB-1, respectively. The JB-1 variety recorded lowest spike length (7.21 cm), healthy seeds count (47.76/spike), test weight (40.02 g) and seed yield (15.57 g/plant). Amongst the varieties, JB-58 gave the maximum net income up to Rs. 74725/ha with 3.54 B:C ratio. The variety JB-2 stood the second best (Rs. 69952/ha with 3.38 B:C ratio). The lowest net income (Rs. 65854/ha with 3.24 B:C ratio) was secured from JB-1 variety of barley.
