Effect of nitrogen levels, cutting management and splitting of nitrogen dose on growth, yield and quality of fodder oat (Avena sativa L.)


Author(s): Uma Singh, Dr. AK Verma and Dr. SK Jha

Abstract: The present research work entitled “Effect of nitrogen levels, cutting management and splitting of nitrogen dose on growth, yield and quality of fodder oat (Avena sativa L.)” was conducted during Rabi season of 2018-19 at Instructional cum Research Farm, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur (Chhattisgarh). Three levels of nitrogen viz. 100, 120 and 140 kg N ha-1 in main plot and four cutting management with splitting of nitrogen viz. two cuttings (50 DAS and 50% flowering) + 60% N as basal + 40% N at 1st cut, two cuttings + 50% N as basal + 50% N at 1st cut, three cuttings (50 DAS, 35-40 days after 1st cut and 35- 40 days after 2nd cut) + 50% N as basal + 25% N at 1st cut + 25% N at 2nd cut and three cuttings + 40% N as basal + 30% N at 1st cut + 30% N at 2nd cut were arranged in sub plot in split plot design with three replications. The result of research work on effect of nitrogen levels, cutting management and splitting of nitrogen revealed that application of 140 kg N ha-1 obtained the highest plant height, green fodder and dry matter yield as compared to 120 and 100 kg N ha-1. As regards to cutting management and splitting of nitrogen, Plant height, green fodder yield and dry matter yield were found maximum under three cuttings + 50% N as basal + 25% N at 1st cut + 25% N at 2nd cut.
