Effect of INM on finger millet- chickpea sequence: in hilly area of South Gujarat

The investigation entitled, “Effect of INM on finger millet– chickpea cropping sequence in the hilly area of South Gujarat” was conducted during the kharif and rabi seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at Rajendrapur Farm, HMRS, NAU, Waghai. The treatment consisted of nutrient management viz., T1:100% RDF + Azospirillum + PSB (2 lit/ha root dipping at TP), T2:100% RDF + NPK bioconsortium (2 lit/ha root dipping at TP), T3:100% RDF + Banana pseudostem sap 1% at tillering and panicle initiation stage, T4:75% RDF + Azospirillum + PSB (2 lit/ha root dipping at TP), T5:75% RDF + NPK bioconsortium (2 lit/ha root dipping at TP), T6:75% RDF + Banana pseudostem sap 1% at tillering and panicle initiation stage, T7:50% RDF + Azospirillum+ PSB (2 lit/ha root dipping at TP), T8:50% RDF + NPK bioconsortium (2 lit/ha root dipping at TP), T9:50% RDF + Banana pseudostem sap 1% at tillering and panicle initiation stage, to finger millet in kharif season replicated 4 times in RBD. During rabi season each main plot treatment was split into two sub plot treatments with 2 levels of fertilizers viz., F1-100 % and F2- 50 % RDF to chickpea resulting in18 treatment combinations replicated four time times in SPD.
