Effect of green manuring on soil physico-chemical properties and yield - Dipak Patel - Bog

An experiment was conducted at College Farm, N. M. College of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari during the rabi season of 2012-2013 to study the ¿Effect of green manuring on soil physico-chemical properties and yield of sweet corn under South Gujarat condition¿. The treatment was 2 levels of green manuring (G0: Fallow G1: Green Manuring with Dhaincha) and 4 levels of recommended dose of fertilizers (F0: No fertilizer, F1: 50 % RDF, F2: 75 % RDF and F3: 100 % RDF) in FRBD with 4 replications.Maximum yield of sweet corn, it is recommended to apply 100 per cent RDF (120-60-60 kg N-P2O5 ¿ K2O/ha) along with Dhaincha green manuring. This will also results in realizing higher net profit and BCR as well as result in significantly higher removal of nutrient and improved physico-chemical properties of soil.
