Production potential of rainfed sorghum as influenced by in situ soil moisture conservation practices and FYM
Author(s): DK Patel and JD Thanki
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during the Kharif season of the year 2017-2018 and 2018- 2019 at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Navsari Agriculture University, Bharuch, Gujarat, to study the production potential of rainfed sorghum as influenced by in situ soil moisture conservation practices and FYM. Two levels of tillage (Deep tillage with mould board plough and planking with cultivator and shallow tillage with cultivator), three levels of seed bed preparation (raised bed with three rows, raised bed with six rows and flat bed sowing) and two levels of FYM (No FYM, FYM 10 t/ha) were evaluated in split plot design and replicated four times. Deep tillage with mould board plough and planking with cultivator recorded significantly the highest plant height, number of leaves/plant, number of internodes/plant, length of ear head, grain yield, straw yield, net return and BCR. Raised bed with three rows were recorded significantly higher growth attributes, yield attributes and yield but remained at par with raised bed with six rows. Application of FYM 10 t/ha recorded significantly higher plant height, number of leaves/plant, number of internodes/plant, length of ear head, grain yield, straw yield and net return and BCR.
