ABSTRACT
Effect of integrated nitrogen management (INM) on growth, yield and economics of rabi sorghum was studied at the College Farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat) during the year 2015-16 and 2016-17 on clayey soil. The treatment consisted of integrated nitrogen management viz., 100 % RDF (80:40:0 NPK/ha) through inorganic fertilizer + biocompost @ 10 t/ha (T1), 100% RDN through inorganic fertilizer (T2), 75 % RDN through inorganic fertilizer + 25 % RDN through biocompost (T3), 75 % RDN through inorganic fertilizer + 25 % RDN through biocompost + biofertilizer (T4), 50 % RDN through inorganic fertilizer + 50 % RDN through biocompost (T5) and 50 % RDN through inorganic fertilizer + 50 % RDN through biocompost + biofertilizer (T6) replicated four times in Randomized block design. INM levels show discernible influence on growth characters, yield attributes and yield of sorghum. Effect of INM treatment 100 % RDF through inorganic fertilizer + biocompost @ 10 t/ha was found good and significantly improved values of growth attributes viz., plant height (218.15,223.90 and 221.03 cm), number of leaves/plant (10.00, 10.30 and 10.15) and dry matter accumulation/plant (54.84, 57.46 and 56.18 g ) at harvest while yield attributes viz., length of earhead (19.72, 20.56 and 20.14 cm), girth of earhead (16.59, 17.48 and 17.03 cm), grain weight/plant (15.07, 15.77 and 15.42), grain yield (33.95, 35.15 and 34.55 q/ha ) and stover yield (86.30, 87.99 and 87.14 q/ha) during both years and in pooled data, respectively. Application of 100 % RDF through inorganic fertilizer + biocompost @ 10 t/ha secured the maximum net realization of 59146 `/ha with BCR of 2.64.
