Effect Of Micronutrients And Bio fertilizers On Yield Nutrient Uptake And Crop Quality In Rice Chickpea Cropping System Under Central Uttar Pradesh Conditions

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted on Student s instructional farm, at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during the Kharif and Rabi season 2017-2020 (Effect of micronutrients and biofertilizers on yield, nutrient uptake and crop quality in rice chickpea cropping system under Central Uttar Pradesh conditions). The experiment was laid out with 12 treatments T1 (Control), T2 (125 per cent RDN), T3 (100 per cent RDN),T4 (100 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM), T5 (100 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40), T6 (100 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40 + ZnO), T7 (100 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40 + ZnO + Azotobacter or Rhizobium), T8 (75 per cent RDN), T9 (75 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM), T10 (75 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40) , T11 (75 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40+ ZnO) , T12 (75 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40 + ZnO + Azotobacter or Rhizobium) in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication. Hybrid rice variety PHB-71 and chickpea variety Uday was taken for study. The results revealed that the grain and straw yield of rice respond significantly with the different treatment combination. Significantly higher grain yield 3.09% and 3.10 % in case of rice and 6.75% and 6.85 % in chickpea were obtained in T7 (100 per cent RDN + 25 per cent N FYM + S40+ ZnO + *Azotobacter or **Rhizobium) during both the years newline
