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).
