A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Latur during kharif 2006 on clay loam soil to find out suitable land configuration for moisture conservation. The results indicated that the land configuration (L4) opening of furrow after every alternate rows and (L2) opening of furrows after two rows were found beneficial in improving growth characters, yield and oil percentage in niger as compared to L1 and L3. Application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 was found beneficial in improving growth characters, yield attributes, yield and oil percentage in niger.

Abstract


A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Latur during kharif 2006 on clay loam soil to find out suitable land configuration for moisture conservation. The results indicated that the land configuration (L4) opening of furrow after every alternate rows and (L2) opening of furrows after two rows were found beneficial in improving growth characters, yield and oil percentage in niger as compared to L1 and L3. Application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 was found beneficial in improving growth characters, yield attributes, yield and oil percentage in niger.
