ThesisItem Open Access Impact of Bio-fertilizer and Foliar Nutrition on Growth and Productivity of Chickpea (Cicer arietinium L.) in Varanasi region of Uttar Pradesh(Department of Agronomy Institute of Agricultural Sciences Banaras Hindu University Varanasi, 2022) Faruqui, Nuzhat; Bhushan, ChandraA field experiment was conducted on Impact of Bio-fertilizer and Foliar Nutrition on Growth and Productivity of Chickpea (Cicer arietinium L.) in Varanasi region of Uttar Pradesh” during the rabi season of the 2021-22 at Agricultural Research Farm, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block design with three 3 replications in which chickpea variety PG-186 was grown with two fertility levels (10 N: 25 P2O5: 15 K2O kg/ha and 20 N: 50 P2O5: 30 K2O kg/ha), seed inoculation with Rhizobium, PSB and ammonium molybdate and foliar application of 2% urea, 0.5 % ZnSO4 and 0.2 % borax in different combinations. The result of the experiment revealed that the treatment T3 (20 N :50 P2O5: 30 K2O + 25 Kg/ha ZnSO4) recorded with maximum value for growth attributes like plant height, number of branches per plant, dry matter accumulation(g), leaf area, root length symbiotic parameters like number of root nodules and dry weight of root nodules per plant at different stages of crop growth. The physiological parameters viz., CGR and LAI were found maximum in treatment T12 (10 N: 25 P2O5: 15 K2O kg/ha + seed inoculation with Rhizobium +PSB +1g/kg ammonium molybdate/kg seed + foliar application of 2% Urea + 0.5%ZnSO4 + 0.2% borax twice at pre-flowering and pod development stage). The yield attributes viz., number of pods per plant and number of grains per plants, grain, stover and biological yield were recorded highest in T3 (20 N :50 P2O5: 30 K2O + 25 Kg/ha ZnSO4). The NPK content and uptake in the plant were recorded highest in T3 followed by T12. The nutrient use efficiencies for applied nitrogen and phosphorus were highest in treatment with 50% RDF (10 N: 25 P2O5: 15 K2O kg/ha). The economic studies of the experiment showed that the treatment T3 highest net returns (107663₹ ha-1), gross return and B:C (2.29) ratio followed by treatment T2 and T12. In the view of the following experiment the treatment T3 proved to be the best among all the treatments in terms of growth, yield and in economics along with highest B:C ratio and the treatment T12 (10 N: 25 P2O5: 15 K2O kg/ha + seed inoculation with Rhizobium +PSB +1g/kg ammonium molybdate/kg seed + foliar application of 2% Urea + 0.5%ZnSO4 + 0.2%borax twice at pre-flowering and pod development stage) excel over the treatment T3 (20 N: 50 P2O5: 30 K2O kg/ha along with 25 Kg/ha ZnSO4) in respect of Nutrient Use Efficiency. Hence, this can be an alternative treatment to achieve the high productivity and also to sustain the nutrient status of the soil.ThesisItem Open Access Response of wheat genotypes to irrigation(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1996) Bhushan, Chandra; Yadav, Ashok KuamrThesisItem Open Access Response of Wheat genotypes to Irrigation(College of Agriculture Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University Hisar, 1996) Bhushan, Chandra; Yadav, Ashok Kuamr
