ABSTRACT
The field experiment was conducted during kharif season of year 2012-13 at Experimental Farm of AICRP on IFS, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani to study the impact of land configuration and nutrient management on productivity, quality and moisture use efficiency. The mean plot treatments comprised of three land configuration treatments viz., flat bed, opening of furrow after each row and opening of furrow after two rows while the sub plot treatments consisted of nutrient management viz., 100% RDF (120:60:60 NPK kg ha-1), 25% RDF + 10 t FYM + PSB + Azotobacter, 25% RDF + 10 t FYM + two row of bio-mulches of sannhemp, 50% RDF + 5 t FYM + PSB + Azatobacter. Opening of furrow after each row recorded the higher yield (1897 kg ha-1), quality parameters and moisture use efficiency (4.35 kg ha-1 mm) as compared to flat bed and opening of furrow after two rows. Application of 100% RDF increased yield (2007 kg ha-1), quality parameters and moisture use efficiency (4.42 kg ha-1 mm) followed by 50% RDF + 5 t FYM + PSB + Azatobacter
Key words :
Bt cotton, Furrow, Growth & yield attributes, MUE, Nutrient management, Land configuration.
