On Farm Assessment of INM Techniques on Soil Health and Yield of Rice in Sahibganj, Jharkhand

On-farm trial was conducted to assess the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) techniques on yield of rice and soil health after harvest during 2018-19 and 2019-20 at ten locations. The result of three treatments viz. Farmer’s Practice, Technology Option 1 and Technology Option 2 indicated that TO1 and TO2 significantly increased the yield and yield attributing characters over farmer’s practice (FP). Significantly high yield of rice grain (41.2 q per ha) was recorded with INM techniques. The data on available N, P and K status of soil after harvest of rice crop was significantly higher under TO2 as compared to FP. Highest net-return (Rs. 44,214 per ha) with B:C ratio of 2.44 was reported under TO2. INM techniques also resulted in lowest technology gap (8.78 q per ha) and technology index (17.56%) over other treatments which suggests it’s feasibility at farmer’s field.

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of integrated nutrient management in scented rice and its residual effect on pea under paira cropping system at Regional Research and Technology Transfer Station (RRTTS), Bhawanipatna, Kalahandi, Odisha during 2015-16 and 2016-17. Twelve treatment combinations comprising of T1 - FYM @ 10 t ha-1 + vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 + neem cake @ 2.5 q ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1, T2 - STBFR (Soil test based fertilizer recommendation 75 : 30 : 20 kg N:P2O5: K2O ha-1), T3 - STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1, T4 - STBFR + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1, T5 - STBFR + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1, T6- STBFR + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T7- STBFR + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T8- STBFR + FYM @ 5 t /ha + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T9 - STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1, T10 - STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5kg ha-1+ PSM @ 5kg ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1, T11 - Farmers practice (only chemical fertilizer @ 40 : 20 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1), T12 - STBFR + vermicompost @ 2.5 t ha-1 were tried in RBD with three replications. The soil of the experimental site was black cotton type having pH- 6.11 , O.C.- 0.72 %, E.C- 0.004 (dS m-1), available N -175.9 kg ha-1 (low), available P-36.7 kg ha-1 (medium) and available K- 283.6 kg ha-1 (high). Geetanjali was the test variety for rice and Azad Pea-1 for pea. Application of STBFR (75 : 30 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1) + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1 (T10) to medium duration aromatic rice (var. Geetanjali) produced higher rice grain yield (4065 kg ha-1) and pea seed yield (1044 kg ha-1) from aromatic rice -pea paira cropping system. However, application of STBFR + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1 producing grain yield (3944 kg ha-1) and pea seed yield 977 kg ha-1 is another option. Application of STBFR (75 : 30 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1) + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 + Azospirillum @ 5 kg ha-1 + PSM @ 5 kg ha-1 + Zn @ 5 kg ha-1 + S @ 20 kg ha-1 (T10) recorded maximum gross return (Rs. 1,26,991 ha-1) , net return (Rs. 80,146 ha-1) and B : C ratio of 2.71. The increase in rice equivalent yield (REY) in this treatment was 51.4% higher than the farmer practice i,e., application of chemical fertilizers alone (40 : 20 : 20 kg N : P2O5 : K2O ha-1).

Field experiments were conducted at Multi Location Testing (MLT) sites of Chandina and Debidwer of Cumilla district, and Kasba of Brahmanbaria district under on-farm research division (OFRD), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Cumilla during 2016-18 to find out the appropriate dose of fertilizer for the maximum productivity of hybrid cauliflower varieties. Five integrated nutrient management packages such as T1= Recommended fertilizer dose for high yield goal (HYG), viz. 40-20-38-7-0-0 NPKSZnB Kg ha-1, T2= T1 + 1.5 t ha-1 vermicompost, T3 = T1 + 5 t ha-1 cowdung, T4= STB (107-61-107-30-3.0-1.0 NPKSZnB Kg ha-1 and T5= Farmers practices (114-74-123.5-0-0 NPKSZnB Kg ha-1) were used in the trial. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Complete Block (RCB) design with six dispersed replications. The result revealed that the highest curd breadth (21.68 cm), individual curd weight (1.86 Kg) and curd yield (44.14 t ha-1) was obtained from T2 treatment followed by T3 and T4 treatments. The lowest yield was found from farmers practice. Similarly the highest gross return (Tk. 626669.00 ha-1) and gross margin (Tk. 493869.00 ha-1) were also found from T2 treatment and the lowest (Tk. 457734.00 ha-1 and 438066.00 ha-1) respectively from farmer's practice T5.

An experiment was evaluated in an integrated approach of nutrient management on two ginger cultivars under irrigation domains in Kymore Plateau and Satpura Hills zone of central India for three consecutive years during the kharif season. The results revealed that the weight of rhizomes per plant and fresh rhizome yield together with VC ratio were noted to be significantly higher (229.9 g and 22754 kg/ha) in improved cultivar Suprabha with integrated nutrient management (INM) in partial shade than the same genotype with INM without shade (216.4 g and 21692 kg/ha). The lowest rhizome per plant and fresh rhizome yield was recorded in farmers’ practice (without shade) with Local cultivar (154.7 g and 16698 kg/ha). The technology gap and technology index were minimum in improved cultivar Suprabha with INM due to partial shade resulting an additional 5 employment.

Use Efficiency

PurposeOne of the serious constraints for the integration of organics in soil fertility plans is the release and availability of nitrogen (N) to match the critical growth stages of a crop. The interplay between organic amendment characteristics and soil moisture conditions can significantly affect the nutrient release and availability, especially for dryland crops like wheat. In this study, the effects of integrated nutrient management strategies using diverse qualities of organic amendments on daily N mineralization and its availability to plants during the full growing season of the wheat crop were analyzed in a 10-year experiment.MethodsThe management included (1) F, inorganic fertilizers at 100% rate, compared to a reduced rate of inorganic fertilizers (55% N) supplemented with organic inputs via (2) GM, green manuring, (3) LE, legume cropping and its biomass recycling, (4) WS, wheat stubble retention, (5) RS, rice stubble retention, and (6) FYM, farmyard manure application, during the preceding rice season. Ion exchange resin (IER) membrane strips were used as plant root simulators to determine daily NH4+-N and NO3–-N availability in soil solution during the full wheat growing period.ResultsTotal available N for the full season was in the following order: GM (962 μg cm–2) > F (878 μg cm–2) > LE (872 μg cm–2) > FYM (865 μg cm–2) > RS (687 μg cm–2) > WS (649 μg cm–2). No significant differences were observed in NH4+-N availability throughout the cropping period as compared to NO3–-N which showed significant differences among management at critical crop growth stages.ConclusionLegume biomass incorporation (GM, LE) and farmyard manure (FYM) based management provided the most consistent supply equivalent to or even exceeding 100% inorganic fertilizers at several critical stages of growth, especially at tillering and stem elongation. Integration of organics in management increased nitrogen use efficiency 1.3–2.0 times, with cereal crop residue-based management having the highest efficiency followed by legume biomass incorporation.
