 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 at Rajendrapur Farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Navsari Agricultural University, Waghai (Dist. Dangs), Gujarat to study the residual effect of integrated nutrient management in little millet on production potential of succeeding green gram crop under little millet-green gram cropping system. The treatment consisted of integrated nutrient management viz. T1 – 100% RDF, T2 – 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through bio compost, T3 – 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through vermin compost, T4 – 75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through bio compost, T5 – 75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through vermin compost and Azotobacter and PSB applied each 2 lit/ha for all treatment to little millet in kharif season as main plot treatments replicated four times in randomized block design. During rabi season 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 and S3 – 75% RDF, and S4 – 100% RDF to green gram resulting in twenty treatment combinations replicated four times in split plot design. The experiment was conducted on same site without changing the randomization of the treatment for the successive year to assess the residual effects. The residual effect of 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through vermicompost to kharif little millet reported the significant effect on growth, yield attributes, seed and stover yields of succeeding green gram followed by 50% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 50% RDN through bio compost. Thus, application of RDF i.e. 40 kg nitrogen (75% RDN through chemical fertilizer + 25% RDN through vermin compost) along with recommended dose of 20 kg P2O5  reported promising effect on growth, yield and yield attributing characters of little millet in little millet-green gram cropping sequence under South Gujarat condition.

Key words:  Little millet, Green gram, Cropping sequence, Seed yield.
