| Experiment Title | Response of Barnyard millet to organics and their residual effect in rabi green gram (In collaboration with HMRS, NAU, Waghai) | ||
| Research Type | Departmental Trail | ||
| Experiment Background | Barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea L.), is popularly known as a sawan (banti) is an important food crop of the poor people’s inhabiting the dry land areas of India. Because of its drought hardiness, robust and quick growing habit, it occupies large acreage in dry regions. It does well in the marginal soils with poor soil fertility. It has very low cost of production. The crop matures rather early (80 to 90 days) and provides a good gap filling of food crop. Sometimes, when there is a shortage of food, farmers can grow as an emergence food crop and quickly harvest some edible grains to meet their immediate food requirements It is equally important as a grain and fodder crop. Thus it deserves a greater importance than other millets. The potentiality of barnyard millet has not been exploited in India and the yield levels are very low. Hence proper nutrient management is a major input in the production process, there is a need to rationalize its use as an underutilization can lead to sub optimal yield. The drastic increase in the cost of chemical fertilizers in the recent past has made it imperative to use alternate sources of nutrients like organic manures, crop residues, biofertilizer etc. The present study was therefore undertaken to study the effect of different organics on productivity of Banti crop and their residual effect in rabi green gram. | ||
