Abstract:
Experimental was conducted at college farm of N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, (Gujarat) during the years 2017-18 and 2018-19 in mustard-cowpea cropping sequence” was conducted. The field experiment consisted of eight treatments of integrated nutrient management viz., T₁ (Control), T₂ (10 t FYM/ha), T₃ (5 t biocompost/ha), T₄ (4 t vermicompost/ha) T₅ (RDF 50:50:00 kg N-P-K/ha), T₆ (RDF + 5 t FYM/ha), T₇ (RDF + 2.5 t biocompost/ha) and T₈ (RDF + 2.0 t vermicompost/ha) to mustard in rabi season and replicated three times in randomized block design. On the basis of pooled analysis of rabi mustard growth and yield attributes and yield of mustard were improved significantly due to combine of organic and inorganic manures. Significantly higher seed yield (1593 kg/ha) and stover yield (3454 kg/ha) were obtained under application of RDF + 2.0 t vermicompost/ha (T₈) which were remained at par with RDF + 2.5 t biocompost/ha (T₇) and RDF + 5 t FYM/ha (T₆).
