Abstract: A field experiment was conducted during winter season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 to assessed the integrated nutrient management, irrigation and moisture conservation practices on yield attributes, yield and economics of chandrasur at Soil Conservation and Water Management Farm of C.S.A.U.A & T., Kanpur. Results revealed that significantly higher yield attributes viz., length of pod, number of pods plant-1, weight of pods plant-1, seed weight plant-1, and 1000-seed weight, yield viz., seed, stover, biological and oil yield and economics viz., gross and net returns and benefit : cost ratio of chandrasur was produced with irrigation applied at 35 and 70 days after sowing as compared to irrigation given at 35 and 60 days after sowing and irrigation applied at 35 days after sowing during both the years of experimentation. Application of 75% N through fertilizer + 25% N through vermicompost + PSB produced significantly higher yield and yield attributes and economics of chandrasur than 75% N through fertilizer + 25% N through FYM and 100% N through fertilizer (60 kg ha-1) in the respective years. Yield and yield attributes and economic of chandrasur was significantly increased with weeding and hoeing + organic residue mulch @ 4 t ha-1 as compared to organic residue mulch @ 4 t ha-1 and without moisture conservation practices (control) during both the years of study.
