Evaluation of improved integrated nutrient management technologies in rice under rainfed condition on farmer’s field

Abstract

Field experiment was conducted at farmer’s field belonging to Patan and Panagar block of Jabalpur district, MP during 2014 and 2015 under rainfed condition. Results reveal that height (70.8 cm.) and tillers/hill (9.5 /hill) significantly increased (61.5 cm.) and (8.3/hill) over farmers practice. The effective tillers and grains/panicle also increased under improved integrated nutrient management practice. The grain and straw yields of 468 and 910 kg/ha were recorded under improved practice over (340 and 764 kg/ ha) recorded under farmers practice, respectively. The treatment of improved practice fetched an additional income of Rs. 29350/ha with B: C ratio of 1.85.
