 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during the two consecutive years 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Research Farm of Agronomy of CCS Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar (India). The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and consisting of twelve treatments. Plant height and dry matter accumulation of pearlmillet was recorded highest in treatment T6, where 50 % RD-NP + 50 % N through FYM in pearlmillet and 100 % RD-NP in wheat supplied through fertilizers while minimum plant height and dry matter obtained in control during both years of the experiment. The use of inorganic fertilizers in combination with organic manures has been found more advantageous than either of them alone for sustainable agriculture on long term basis. Integrated nutrient management is followed for enhancing crop productivity of intensive cropping systems, nutrient availability, biological properties and soil carbon pools for long term.

Key words: Cropping system, INM, NPK, Pearlmillet, Wheat
