| dc.description.abstract | A field experiment was conducted at farmers field in Byrasandra village, Jangamakote hobli, Sidlaghatta taluq, Chikkaballapura district, to study the effect of biochar on soil properties, growth and yield of finger millet (GPU-28) during Kharif 2017. The field trail included 7 treatments and 3 replications. The results revealed that application of 100 per cent NPK + ZnSO4 + 125 per cent of biochar equivalent of FYM recorded higher growth parameters viz plant height, number of tillers hill-1 and the yield attributes like number of ear heads hill-1 , fingers earhead-1, 1000 grain weight, grain and straw yield of finger millet. Nutrient concentration and total nutrient uptake was increased in treatment T7 that received 100 per cent NPK + ZnSO4 + 125 per cent of biochar equivalent of FYM as compared to package of practices (POP). Application of biochar recorded significant improvement in water holding capacity and bulk density of the soil. The soil pH, electrical conductivity and organic carbon was significantly increased, however decrease in the aluminum status of post harvest soil was noticed. There was significant increased in major and secondary nutrients at post harvest soil. The iron and manganese concentration was decreased and significant increase in zinc and copper concentration in soil. | en_US |
