The experiment conducted in Randomized Block Design with three replications using cv. Arka chandan, with ten treatments, two kinds of organic manures (FYM and Vermicompost) alone and in combination with two kinds of biofertilizers (Azotobacter and PSB) and reduced doses of chemical fertilizers were tested in comparison with RDF. On the basis of results, the application of 50:25:25 Kg NPK ha-1 + FYM 25 t ha-1 + seed treatment with PSB to the crop found to be sound integrated practice. The integrated use of inorganic fertilizers, organic manures and biofertilizers had a significant effect on nutrient uptake. The highest up.. View More»
