dc.description.abstract | A filed experiment entitled “RESPONSE OF NITROGEN LEVELS AND ENRICHED COMPOST TO GRAIN AMARANTH (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) UNDER SOUTH SAURASHTRA CONDITION” was conducted during rabi season of the year 2017-18 at the Instructional Farm, Department of Agronomy, College of Agriculture, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh. The experiment comprising eight treatment combinations were laid out in factorial randomized block design and replicated thrice. The treatment consisted combinations of four levels of nitrogen viz., 00 kg N/ha (N1), 40 kg N/ha (N2), 60 kg N/ha (N3) and 80 kg N/ha (N4), two levels of enriched compost i.e. no enriched compost (C1) and enriched compost 5.0 t/ha (C2). The recommended dose of phosphorus 40 kg P2O5/ha was applied uniformly to all the treatment as basal in form of single super phosphate. Nitrogen was applied as per treatment in form of urea. Experimental results indicated that significantly highest plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation at 30 DAS, 60 DAS, 90 DAS and at harvest, while stem girth at harvest and days to 50% flowering were significantly higher with an application of 80 kg N/ha (N4). Similarly, significantly more length of main inflorescence (85.12 cm), higher number of spikelets per spike, maximum test weight and highest grain yield and stover yield recorded by nitrogen application 80 kg N/ha (N4). Fertilization with 80 kg N/ha recorded significantly highest protein content and protein yield. There was not found any significant influence of different levels of nitrogen on phosphorus and potassium content in grain as well as in stover but nitrogen content in grain and stover shows significant result. While application of nitrogen 80 kg N/ha (N4) showed significantly highest nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake by grain and stover. significantly higher under 80 kg N/ha (N in soil after the harvest of the crop were In case of enriched compost plant, leaf area index and dry matter accumulation growth, stem girth at harvest and days to 50 when enriched compost was applied yield were also recorded with the Application of enriched compost protein content and protein yield. Similarly, application significant effect on nitrogen, phosphorus and and stover. Available nitrogen and phosphorus were treated with enriched compost 5.0 t/ha ( harvest of the crop remain unchanged due to applica The interaction effect of nitrogen levels and enriched compost on growth, yield, yield attributes, quality, nutrients content and uptake, available nutrients status after crop harvest were found non In case of economics the highest net return of were obtained with application of 80 kg N/ha (N BCR of 2.29 were recorded with ap From the results of one year experimentation, it can be concluded that to obtain higher profitable yield of rabi enriched compost 5.0 t/ha and 60 ) showed significantly highest nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake by grain and stover. Available nitrogen (187.5 kg/ha) 0 kg N/ha (N4), whereas available phosphorus and potash in soil after the harvest of the crop were remain unaffected. enriched compost, maximum plant height, number of leaves per and dry matter accumulation per plant at all the stages of and days to 50% flowering were significantly higher was applied 5.0 t/ha (C2). The maximum grain and stover were also recorded with the application of enriched compost 5.0 t/ha (C2). enriched compost 5.0 t/ha (C2) exert its significant effect on protein content and protein yield. Similarly, application of enriched compost showed significant effect on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content and uptake by grain Available nitrogen and phosphorus were significantly highest when 5.0 t/ha (C2), whereas available potash in soil after the remain unchanged due to application of enriched compost. The interaction effect of nitrogen levels and enriched compost on growth, yield, yield attributes, quality, nutrients content and uptake, available nutrients status after crop harvest were found non-significant In case of economics the highest net return of 52948/ha and BCR of 2 d with application of 80 kg N/ha (N4) and net return of 52777/ha and were recorded with application of enriched compost 5.0 t/ha (C2). From the results of one year experimentation, it can be concluded that to obtain grain amaranth, the crop should be fertilized wi and 60 kg N/ha under South Saurashtra condition. ) showed significantly highest nitrogen, phosphorus and 187.5 kg/ha) was available phosphorus and potash maximum plant height, number of leaves per l the stages of were significantly higher aximum grain and stover exert its significant effect on showed potassium content and uptake by grain significantly highest when in soil after the The interaction effect of nitrogen levels and enriched compost on growth, yield, yield attributes, quality, nutrients content and uptake, available nutrients status /ha and BCR of 2.61 /ha and From the results of one year experimentation, it can be concluded that to obtain grain amaranth, the crop should be fertilized with | en_US |
