Field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2011 on a farmer's field in Koliwad (Hubli Taluk) village in northern transitional zone of Karnataka between 15°21' N latitude and 75°24' E longitude and at an altitude of 629 m above mean sea level (MSL). In the soil test crop response dose of 216:116:166 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1, recorded significantly higher plant height (95.4cm) over remaining treatments. This was at par with treatments T5 (93.5 cm) and lowest plant height (85.8 cm) was recorded in RDF (T1) at harvest. T2 (STCR) registered highest number of branches (30.2), which was significantly superior over remaining all the treatments. The application of STCR dose of N, P2O5 and K2O (T2) recorded higher dry matter production (120.7 g) which was significantly superior over RDF (T1), STL (T3) and modified RDF1 (T4). The concentration of N, P and K were higher in the treatment T2 (STCR dose N, P2O5 and K2O) as compared to rest of the treatments. There was significant difference among treatments with respect to zinc concentration in plant as the soil was deficient in zinc.

Abstract


Field experiment was conducted during Kharif 2011 on a farmer's field in Koliwad (Hubli Taluk) village in northern transitional zone of Karnataka between 15°21' N latitude and 75°24' E longitude and at an altitude of 629 m above mean sea level (MSL). In the soil test crop response dose of 216:116:166 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha-1, recorded significantly higher plant height (95.4cm) over remaining treatments. This was at par with treatments T5 (93.5 cm) and lowest plant height (85.8 cm) was recorded in RDF (T1) at harvest. T2 (STCR) registered highest number of branches (30.2), which was significantly superior over remaining all the treatments. The application of STCR dose of N, P2O5 and K2O (T2) recorded higher dry matter production (120.7 g) which was significantly superior over RDF (T1), STL (T3) and modified RDF1 (T4). The concentration of N, P and K were higher in the treatment T2 (STCR dose N, P2O5 and K2O) as compared to rest of the treatments. There was significant difference among treatments with respect to zinc concentration in plant as the soil was deficient in zinc.
