Effect of Nutrient Combination on Growth and Yield Attributes of Barley in Late Sowing Condition

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during Rabi season of 2022-23 to Effect of nutrient combination on growth and yield attributes of barley in late sowing condition. Barley variety „ RD-2035‟ was used in this study. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications consisting of ten treatments combinations i.e. T1-Control, T2-100% RDF, T3-75% RDF + 2t FYM + 10 kg Zn, T4- 50% RDF + 4t FYM + 20 kg Zn, T5-75% RDF + 1.5t Vermicompost, T6-50% RDF + 3t Vermicompost, T7-75% RDF + 1t Poultry manure, T8-50% RDF + 2t Poultry manure, T9-75% RDF + 1.5t Compost and T10-50% RDF + 3t Compost. The increased growth parameter such as as plant height (cm), total number of tillers, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation with the application of 75% RDF + 1t Poultry manure. The application of 75% RDF + 1t Poultry manure increased all the yield parameters as compared to control.
