Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during rabi seasons of 2017-18 and 2018-19. There were seven treatments applied to grain amaranth. Significantly higher plant height, grain yield and straw yield were recorded under the treatment T₄ (Bio compost 5 t/ha + 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizer) and being at par with the treatments T₆ (Vermi compost 5 t/ha + 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizer) and T₂ (FYM 5 t/ha + 100% RDF through inorganic fertilizer). Thus, integration of organic manure and inorganic fertilizer have higher yield potential and performed better as compared to inorganic fertilizer treatment as well as the treatment which receiving organic manure only.
