Abstract

To find out the efficacy of different organic materials as source of nutrients to barnyard millet ( Echinochloa frumentacea), an experiment was laid out with 12 treatments consisting of different organic manures in a ran- domized block design with 3 replications during kharif 2005-2008 at Ranichauri. The results indicated that vari- ous organic nutrition treatments have significantly lower productivity of barnyard millet than recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF i.e. 40-20-20 kg N-P-K/ha) in the initial 2 years (2005 and 2006). However, from third year on- wards, organic nutrition treatments of vermicompost (VC) + wild apricot-cake, WAC (50% N from each source) with and without Azotobacter produced statistically at par yield as that of RDF. Among the organic nutrition treat- ments tried, VC + WAC (50% N from each source) + Azotobacter on an average produced statistically similar
