Effect of INM on Physico-chemical properties of soil of maize (Zea mays) crop in Inceptisol of Central U.P.

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at field no. 6 Student’s instructural Farm at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur during the Kharif season 2017 to find out integrated nutrient management effect on maize with ten treatments i.e. T1 (125% RDN), T2 (100% RDN), T3 (100% RDN + 25% N FYM), T4 (100% RDN + 25% N FYM + S30), T5 (100% RDN + 25% N FYM + S30 + Zn5), T6 (75% RDN), T7 (75% RDN + 25% N FYM), T8 (75% RDN + 25% N FYM + S30), T9 (75% RDN + FYM + S30 + Zn5), T10 (Control) in RBD with 3 replications. Maize variety Azad Uttam was taken for study. The results revealed that improve the physico-chemical condition of soil after harvesting the crop. The pH, EC, Organic Carbon, Available Sulphur, Available Zinc given non-significant result, when Available Nitrogen, Available Phosphorus, Available Potassium are given significant results in all the treatments.
