ABSTRACT
A field experiment to study the effect of integrated nitrogen management on soil properties and performance of fenugreek under Typic Ustipsamment soil was conducted at Agronomy farm S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Jaipur) during rabi 2008-09. Results showed that application of 100% RD of N through FYM significantly increased the yield attributes, effective and total number of nodules per plant, dry and fresh weight of root nodules per plant, seed yield, straw yield, net return and B:C ratio followed by application of 75% RD of N through vermicompost + 25% N through DAP over control. The highest net return and B:C ratio was also recorded under the application of 75% RD of N through vermicompost + 25% N through DAP.
Key words :
DAP, Farm yard manure, Fenugreek, Neem cake, Poultry manure, Trigonella foenum, Vermicompost.
