Abstract
A field experiment was carried out at Main Forage Research Station, Anand
Agricultural University, Anand to study the “Effect of integrated nutrient management
on yield and quality of dual purpose fodder oat (Avena sativa L.)” during rabi season
2019-20. The soil of experimental unit was loamy sand in texture (locally called as
“Goradu” soil) having good moisture retention and drainage capacity. The experiment
site was low in organic carbon (0.28%) and available nitrogen (232.87 kg/ha), while
medium in phosphorus (35.12 kg/ha) and medium to high in potassium (280.20 kg/ha)
with pH 7.46 and EC 0.21 dS/m.
The experiment encompassed of ten treatments and it was laid out in
randomized block design with four replications. The details of treatments are as
follows, T1 (100% RDF), T2 (10t FYM + 100% RDF), T3 (Castor Cake + 100% RDF),
T4 (Poultry Manure + 100% RDF), T5 (Neem Cake + 100% RDF), T6 (5t FYM + 25%
N from FYM + 75% RDF + Bio-fertilizer), T7 (5t FYM + 25% N from Castor Cake +
75% RDF + Bio-fertilizer), T8 (5t FYM + 25% N from Poultry Manure + 75% RDF +
Bio-fertilizer), T9 (5t FYM + 25% N from Neem Cake + 75% RDF + Bio-fertilizer) and
T10 (50% N from FYM + 50% N from Castor Cake + Bio-fertilizer).
