Abstract:
Micronutrients enriched organic manure and biofertilizer as influenced on multi-cut fodder oat” conducted during rabi 2021-22 at MFRS, AAU, Anand 388110 (Gujarat) with ten different treatments i.e T1 RDF (80-40-0 NPK/ha), T2 (RDF + NPK consortia), T3 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched FYM 0.5 t/ha), T4 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched FYM 1 t/ha), T5 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 0.5 t/ha), T6 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 1 t/ha), T7 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched FYM 0.5 t/ha + NPK consortia), T8 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched FYM 1 t/ha + NPK consortia), T9 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 0.5 t/ha + NPK consortia) and T10 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 1 t/ha + NPK consortia) and an experiment data analysis done with randomized block statistical design having three replications.
Plant population, plant height at 20 and 40 DAS, DM% gave non-significant differences due to different treatments. An application of RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 1 t/ha + NPK consortia (T10) gave significantly higher plant height at 1st cut (103.32 cm), 30 days after 1st cut (21.37 cm) and at 2nd cut (37.86 cm) and LSR (2.35 and 0.93 both cuts, respectively). Economical yield at 1st and 2nd cut (430.56 & 358.13 q/ha, respectively) and TGFY yield (788.69 q/ha) was observed higher in treatment T10 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 1 t/ha + NPK consortia). CP % (Crude protein) [11.35 and 11.13 % at 1st and 2nd cut] was noted higher treatment T10 and T8, respectively) whereas DMY (Dry matter yield) (63.48, 78.60, and 142.06 q/ha at 1st and 2nd cut and total DMY, respectively) and CPY (Crude protein yield) (7.22, 8.57, 15.76 q/ha at 1st and 2nd cut and total DMY, respectively) by application of RDF + Micronutrients Enriched VC 1 t/ha + NPK consortia (T10). Lower ADF content (29.91 %) was reported in treatment T8 (RDF + Micronutrients Enriched FYM 1 t/ha + NPK consortia) at 1st cut, whereas the response of treatment on fodder oat was found to be non-significant in the case of ADF content in 2nd cut and NDF content in both cuts. Higher gross income (157740 `/ha), and net realization (94887 `/ha) with 2.51 BCR were also reported with T10, while treatment T2 (RDF + NPK consortia) reported a higher BCR of 3.14.
