Effect of nutrient levels and liquid organic formulations on growth and yield of Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)


Madiraju Venkata Vinay Kumar, Vikram Singh and Shruti George

The field experiment was conducted during Kharif season 2023 at experimental field of Crop Research Farm- 2, Department of Agronomy, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH7.3), low in organic carbon (0.48%), available nitrogen (230 kg/ha), available phosphorus (13.60 kg/ha) and available potassium (215.4 kg/ha). The treatments consist of RDF levels (50%, 75%, 100%) and Liquid Organic Formulations (Panchagavya-3%, Vermiwash – 2%, Cow urine – 5%) along with control. The experiment was layout in Randomized Block Design with ten treatments each replicated thrice. Highest Plant height (225.74 cm), maximum plant dry weight (142.55 g/plant) and the yield attributes namely grains/earhead (807.00), Panicle length (14.06 cm), grain yield (3.56 t/ha), stover yield (6.26 t/ha), maximum gross return (89109.71 INR/ha), net return (60209.71 INR/ha) and benefit cost ratio (2.08) were also obtained highest in the 100% RDF + Panchagavya 3%.
