Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during 2002-03 at agronomy Instructional Farm, Sardarkrushinagar to study the effect of industrial sludges and soil conditioners on yield and micronutrient uptake by wheat-pearl millet-green gram cropping system. Application of ETP sludge @ 20 t ha-1 to wheat crop resulted in significantly higher grain yield of wheat, pearl millet and green gram than control, GS20, ACS20. GS10, ACS10, FA10, FA20, VC10 and FYM10. Maximum uptake of Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu were recorded under application of ETP sludge @ 20 t ha-1 by gain as well as straw of wheat, pearl millet and green gram crop. However, the lowest uptake of all these micronutrients were noticed under application of glycerin @ 20 t ha-1 in wheat crop on the contrary, the lowest uptake was noticed with control treatment in pearl millet and green gram crops.
