Determining the Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Rajasthan, India

A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during Rabi season of 2022-23 to effect of integrated nutrient management on growth and yield characters of barley variety “Rd-2036‟ was used in this study. The required quantities of fertilizers as per treatments were applied. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications consisting of nine treatments combinations. The increased yield parameter such as number of per siliqua, seed yield, stover yield harvest index was recorded with T9 (Azotobacter + PSB + 30 kg ha-1 N through inorganic Fertilizer + 30 kg ha-1 N through poultry manure). The data revealed that the maximum plant height (97.05 ccm), total numbers of tillers (70.25) and yield attributes spike length (7.68 cm), number of grains/spike (44.96), grain yield (42.58 q/ha), straw yield (60.15 q/ha), biological yield (102.73 q/ha) and net return (53406.30 Rs/ha) was recorded with treatment T5-75% RDF + PSB + Azotobacter.
