Abstract
The study was undertaken during kharif season of 2019-20 at Agronomy research farm of ICAR-NDRI, Karnal (Haryana). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with eight treatments viz., Absolute control; 100% RDF; 100% RDF + Cow urine foliar spray (10% at 30 and 45 DAS); 100% RDF + PGPR; 100% RDF + PGPR + Cow urine foliar spray; 75% RDF + Cow urine foliar spray; 75% RDF + PGPR and 75% RDF + PGPR + Cow urine foliar spray with three replications of each treatment. Study indicated that maximum iron (347.6 ppm), manganese (44.6 ppm), copper (12.9 ppm) and zinc (38.3 ppm) content as well as uptake of iron (3938.6 g ha-1), manganese (506.8 g ha-1), copper (146.1 g ha-1) and zinc (433.8 g ha-1) by fodder pearl millet recorded with 100% RDF + PGPR + Cow urine foliar spray. Soil macro and micronutrients status was found higher with application of 100% RDF + PGPR + Cow urine foliar spray, which may further strengthen and sustain fodder quality and soil fertility
