| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment entitled “Productivity, Profitability, Seed and Soil Quality under Different Types of Maize and Wheat Varieties Grown with Organic Farming” was conducted during kharif and rabi seasons of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Organic Farming Unit, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur. The experiment was laid out in a RBD with 12 treatments and three replications. The experiment comprises 12 varieties of different types of maize viz., Grain maize; PQPM-1, PM-9 and PHM-3, Sweet corn; Sugar-75, Madhula and Misthy, Baby corn; PM-3 and PM-5, Pop corn; VL-Amber pop corn and Amber pop corn and local varieties viz., Navjot and Farmer Selection during kharif and 12 varieties of wheat viz., bread wheat; HI-1531, MP-3288, Raj-4037, Raj-3765 and Raj-4120, durum wheat; HI-8627, HI-8663, HI-8713, MPO-1215 and HI-1500 and local; Lok-1 and C-306. The soil of experimental field was clay loam having pH 8.1, available soil carbon 0.55 %, available nitrogen 220 kg/ha, available phosphorus 34.20 kg/ha, available potassium 235.50 kg/ha, available iron 3.05 mg/kg and available zinc 2.5 mg/kg. The maize and wheat crop were grown with organic management practices as per NPOF standard. The variety PHM-3 of grain maize produced significantly higher grain and stover yield on pooled basis (66.58 q ha-1 & 87.17 q ha-1, respectively) as compared to other varieties of maize. However, variety VL-Amber of pop corn recorded significantly higher maize equivalent yield and harvest index on pooled basis (141.30 q ha-1 & 44.25, respectively) as compared to other varieties of different types of maize. With regard to quality parameters, variety VL-Amber of pop corn recorded significantly higher fat content in grain on pooled basis (6.68 %) as compared to other varieties of different types of maize, however, it was found at par with Amber pop corn (6.23 %). Variety Misthy of sweet 1 Research Scholar, Department of Agronomy, RCA, MPUAT, Udaipur. ** Prof (Agronomy) & Zonal Director Research, RCA, MPUAT, Udaipur. corn recorded significantly higher protein content in grain on pooled basis (11.57 %) as compared to other varieties, however, it was found at par with variety PQPM-1 (11.33 %). Plant uptake of N, P & K was found maximum by the variety PHM-3 of grain maize on pooled basis (122.28 kg ha-1, 32.26 kg ha-1 & 134.29 kg ha-1, respectively) as compared to other varieties of different types of maize. Post harvest soil available N and K were found to be higher in the variety Farmer Selection on pooled basis (348.83 kg ha-1 & 438.00 kg ha-1, respectively) whereas higher post harvest soil available P was registered in variety PM-9 (37.15 kg ha-1). Net balance of available carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in soil varied after harvest of varieties of different types of maize under organic farming. The highest net gain of available nitrogen in soil was recorded in variety Navjot (55.83 kg N ha-1), available phosphorus in variety PM-5 (3.62 kg P ha-1) and available potassium in variety Farmer Selection (93.00 kg K ha-1). Variety VL-Amber of pop corn recorded maximum gross return, net return and BC ratio on pooled basis (233991 ha-1, 178931 ha-1 & 4.25, respectively) as compared to other varieties. The variety HI-8713 of durum wheat produced significantly higher grain and straw yield on pooled basis (56.39 q ha-1 & 92.69 q ha-1, respectively) as compared to other varieties of wheat. With regard to quality parameters, variety Raj-3765 of aestivum recorded significantly higher iron content in grain on pooled basis (61.12 ppm %) as compared to other varieties of different types of wheat. Net balance of available carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in soil varied after harvest of varieties of different types of wheat under organic farming. The highest net gain of available nitrogen in soil was recorded in variety aestivum variety MP-3288 (23.47 kg N ha-1), available phosphorus in variety C-306 (9.93 kg P ha-1) and available potassium in durum variety HI-8713 (93.00 kg K ha-1) as compared to other varieties of wheat. Variety HI-8713 of durum wheat recorded maximum gross return, net return and BC ratio on pooled basis (216436 ha-1, 170700 ha-1 & 3.73, respectively) as compared to other varieties | en_US |
