Nutrient content and their utilization by Barley (Hordium vulgare L.) crop as influenced by integrated use of NPK and FYM in alluvial soils of Agra

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Farm, Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science R.B.S. College Bichpuri, Agra during rabi season 2021-2022. To evaluate the performance of barley crop, with integrated use of NPK and FYM both organic and inorganic sources of nutrients viz. T0 (Control), T1 (FYM 5t/ha), T2 (FYM 10 t/ha), T3 (N40 P30 K20 kg/ha), T4 (N80 P60 K40 kg/ha) and T5 (N80 P60 K40 kg/ha + FYM 5t/ha). The performances of different nutrient management treatments have beneficial response. Application NPK and FYM showed significant effect of yield both grain and straw and NPK content and uptake by grain and straw. The maximum value recorded under T5 (N80 P60 K40 kg/ha + FYM 5t/ha) followed by T4, T3, T2, T1 and minimum under T0 (control) treatment. The T5 treatment proves better result interims of yield nutrient content and utilization by barley as comparison to control.
