Abstract

A field experiment was carried out during rabi season of 2017-18 entitled “Improving barley productivity through integrated nurtient management under different dates of sowing” at Agricultural Research Farm R.B.S. College, Bichpuri, Agra. The variables involved in this study were three dates of sowing-timely (Nov. 10)-D1 , Late (Nov. 25)-D2 Vary Late (Dec.10)-D3 and 6 fertility treatments in barley (Recommended does of fertilizer (RDF)-T1, RDF + FYM @5 t ha-1-T2, RDF + mulch @6t ha-1-T3, RDF + FYM @5 t ha-1+ mulch@6t ha-1-T4, RDF + FYM @5 t ha-1+ mulch@6t ha-1 +spray of ZnSO4@5% -T5, RDF + FYM @5 t ha-1+ mulch@6t ha-1 +2spray of KCl@5% (Flag leaf and post anthesis)-T6. Thus in all 18 treatment combinations were compared in a “Split plot design” having dates of sowing in main plots and additives in subplot with four replications. Concluded that timely sown crop (Nov. 10) resulted in significantly higher grain yield by 8.91 and 20.51 per cent, respectively than late (Nov. 25) and very late (Dec. 10) date of sowing. Late sowing (Nov. 25) also produced appreciably higher grain yeild by 10.62 per cent than very late (Dec. 10) date of sowing. The maximum grain yield was obtained with the application of recommended dose of fertilizer (60+30+20 kgNPK ha-1 along with FYM@5t ha-1 + mulch @ 6t ha-1 + Spray of ZnSO4@5% in all the fertility treatments. The highest net income of Rs. 6081 ha-1 was obtained with normal date of sowing.
