Author(s): Balwinder Singh Dhillon, RS Uppal and SS Dhaliwal
Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana to study the effect of sowing time and different cutting management practices on yield and nutrients (N, P & K) uptake in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Crop sown on October 15 gave significantly higher grain yield with significantly higher fodder yield. One fodder cut of barley taken at 50 days after sowing (DAS) without any significantly yield reduction and it can be delayed up to 60 DAS to get more production of green fodder (40.5 to 41.8%) than that at 50 DAS but at the cost of 20.6-22.7% reduction in grain yield. Application of additional dose of 15 kg N ha-1 after fodder cut at 60 DAS increased the grain yield in all three sowing dates. But grain yield in all three sowing dates decreased with application of additional dose of 15 kg N ha-1 after fodder cut at 50 DAS. November 15 sowing gave higher nitrogen and potassium content in grain and straw, whereas October 15 recorded higher content of phosphorus in grain. Significantly higher nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium uptake was recorded in October 15 sowing.
