Abstract

An experiment was conducted at Research Farm Area, Department of Agronomy, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during kharif 2022 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield parameters of pearl millet. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications containing 12 treatments. The crop was sown on 12 July, 2022 using pearl millet hybrid ‘HHB 67 improved’. Among the treatments, application of recommended dose of fertilizer (156.25:62.50 kg ha-1 N:P) + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 + BIOMIX (T12) resulted in significantly higher plant height (191.67 cm), dry matter accumulation (79.53 g plant-1), leaf area index (3.72), grain yield (3002 kg ha-1) and biological yield (10035 kg ha-1) of pearl millet closely followed by (T11) RDF + 0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.5% FeSO4 at 25 DAS and (T8) RDF + 25 kg ha-1 ZnSO4 which were 11.4, 22.4, 19.1, 7.1 and 5.5% higher over RDF, respectively.
