Abstract:
Field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2019-20 at Crop Research Centre (CRC), School of Agriculture, ITM University Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh on sandy loam soils with 3 levels of nitrogen (0, 60 and 120 kg ha^-1) and 3 levels of phosphorus (0, 40 and 80 kg ha^-1) in Factorial randomized block design with three replications. Results indicated that the increasing doses of nitrogen and phosphorus increased the grain and biological yield and maximum value was noted with 120 kg Nitrogen combined with 80 kg Phosphorus ha-1. This treatment combination was also recorded the maximum higher net monetary returns (Rs 53088 ha^-1) and highest B: C ratio (3.16) under present study.
