Effect of organic manures on macronutrient concentration and dry matter yield of chickpea
Author(s): Vanlalmuanpuia Fanai, RK Kumarjit Singh and N Surbala Devi
Abstract: A pot experiment was conducted to study the effect of organic manures (viz., FYM, compost, nitrogen enriched compost, phosphorus enriched compost and vermicompost) applied @ 5, 10 and 15 t ha-1 on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium concentration as well as dry matter yield of chickpea (JG-16) grown in a Typic Haploumbrepts soil. Results revealed that comparing among the organic manures applied at different doses no significant effect on nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content of chickpea was observed during the whole crop growth stage. Nutrient concentration and dry matter yield of chickpea grown in soils amended with organic manures were significantly higher than control at harvest. Comparing among the different organic sources, application of nitrogen enriched compost @ 15 t ha-1 resulted higher dry matter yield which was at par with the vermicompost applied at the same dose. Agronomic effectiveness of organic manures was more when applied at higher dose.
