Long Term Effect of Organic and Inorganic Sources of Nutrient on Growth of Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum)

In today’s era the farmers using traditional fertilizers in very high amount, so the soil fertility and productivity decreasing day by day. In this context the present study was planned using organic and inorganic sources of fertilizers with their long-term impact on soil fertility, productivity and soil heath. The present study carried out at Research Farm, department of Soil Science, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Gwalior during kharif season 2022 and 2023. The twelve treatments combinations of organic and inorganic sources were used for the existing study. The data revealed that the higher pooled mean plant height (188.79 cm), length of cob (31.88 cm), dry matter accumulation (44.90 g) and grain weight per cob (10.87 g) was registered under T12-100% NPK +FYM @ 10 t/ha/yr + {PSB+ Azotobacter (Seed treatment)}. It was concluded that treatment 100% NPK +FYM @ 10 t/ha/yr + {PSB+ Azotobacter (Seed treatment)} was found superior among remaining treatment.
