Abstract:
The integrated use of organic along with chemical fertilizers and also only use of organic is a promising approach in preserving soil biological activities, which will ultimately show positive impacts on different soil physicochemical properties. With view of enhancing soil health, the present investigationwas conducted at Research Farm, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, during year 2017-18 and 2018-19. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with three replications. The main plot treatments comprised of nutrient management viz., INM (75% RDF + compensation through NPS compost) and Organic (100% NPK dose through NPS compost). Sub plot treatments consisted of cotton based intercropping systems viz., Cotton + dhaincha (1:1), Cotton + sunhemp (1:1), Cotton + greengram (1:1), Cotton + blackgram (1:1) and Sole cotton.
Application of 75% recommended dose of fertilizers with substitution of 25% dose through enriched compost (NPS) was found to be improved the soil properties. The 100% recommended dose of fertilizers through enriched NPS compost also showed improvement. Thus the results revealed that, the chemical fertilizers of cotton can be reduced by 25% when compensated with enriched compost.
