System of crop intensification and organic sources of nutrient on grain quality parameters of cereals under organic production system

Abstract

The experiment was carried out for both the crops viz., finger millet and rice during Kharif season 2016 and 2017 at Crop Research Farm, SHUATS Model of Organic Farm (SMOF), Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to study the ‘System of Crop Intensification and Organic Sources of Nutrient on Grain Quality Parameters of Cereals under Organic Production System’. The pooled data recorded in finger millet that highest carbohydrate contain of 75.87% in the treatment M1 (System of Finger millet Intensification technique, 30 DAS) and highest protein contain of 8.29% with exactly same values by M3 (Late Conventional Transplanted Finger millet, 40 DAS) with M1 (System of Finger millet Intensification, 30 DAS), though it was found non-significant. Considering Farm yard manure (10 t/ ha) pooled data showed highest percentage in carbohydrate content of 75.88% and protein contain of 8.30%, though there was no significance difference. The pooled data recorded in rice that highest carbohydrate contain of 77.48% and highest protein contain of 7.31% in the treatment M1 (System of Rice Intensification method of transplanting), though it was found non-significant. Considering Farm yard manure (16 t/ ha) pooled data showed highest percentage in carbohydrate content of 77.48% and considering Poultry manure (2.6 t/ ha) pooled data showed highest percentage in protein contain of 7.33%, though there was no significance difference.
