A field experiment was conducted at Dry Farming Research Station, Nana Kandhasar (Gujarat) during Kharif 1999-2007 to study the effect of nutrient management (including chemical fertilizer, FYM and biofertilizers) on sesame yield and post harvest soil fertility in sandy loam soils under rainfed condition. Maximum grain yields as well as net realization were recorded under application of NP @ 25:25 kg ha-1 along with FYM 5 t ha-1. Integration of inorganic and organic sources was positively influenced the availability of various plant nutrients in the soil.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted at Dry Farming Research Station, Nana Kandhasar (Gujarat) during Kharif 1999-2007 to study the effect of nutrient management (including chemical fertilizer, FYM and biofertilizers) on sesame yield and post harvest soil fertility in sandy loam soils under rainfed condition. Maximum grain yields as well as net realization were recorded under application of NP @ 25:25 kg ha-1 along with FYM 5 t ha-1. Integration of inorganic and organic sources was positively influenced the availability of various plant nutrients in the soil.
