 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Rajendrapur Farm, Hill Millet Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Waghai (Dist-Dangs), Gujarat to study the residual effect of integrated nutrient management in finger millet on production potential of succeeding green gram crop under finger millet-green gram cropping system. The five integrated nutrient management treatments viz., T1-General RDF (RDF + FYM @ 10 t/ha), T2-75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through biocompost, T3 -75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through vermicompost, T4 -75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through FYM and T5 -control were given to finger millet in kharif season as main plot treatments replicated four times in randomized block design. During succeeding rabi season on the same field green gram was grown for which each main plot treatment was split into four sub plot treatments with four levels of recommended dose of fertilizers viz., S1 -control, S2 50% RDF, S3 -75% RDF and S4 -100% RDF resulting in twenty treatment combinations replicated four times in split plot design. The general RDF (RDF + FYM @ 10 t/ha) applied to finger millet reported the significant residual effect on growth, yield attributes, seed and stover yields of succeeding green gram crop followed by 75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through vermicompost. Thus, application of RDF i.e. 40 kg nitrogen and 20 kg P2O5 through chemical fertilizer along with 10t/ha FYM reported promising residual effect on yield and yield attributing characters of succeeding green gram crop in finger millet-green gram cropping sequence under hilly area of south Gujarat.

Key words: Finger millet-green gram, Cropping sequence, Biocompost, FYM, Grain yield, Vermicompost
