Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2021 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kondagaon (C.G.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized block design (RBD) and consisted of seven treatments and three replications. The application of fertilizer was based on soil test crop response (STCR) with/without FYM. The analysis revealed that the fertilization of STCR approach with FYM recorded maximum growth and yield parameters i.e. plant height, number of tillers, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate (CGR) and leaf area index (LAI) with respect to RDF and control. It can be concluded that fertilization with STCR approach provided precise dose of fertilizer application rather than other treatments. STCR approach also sustains the soil fertility.
