Effect of Land Configuration and Integrated Nutrient Management

A field experiment was conducted at Coastal Soil Salinity Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Danti-Umbharat to study the effect of land configuration and integrated nutrient management on productivity of different varieties of sorghum (rabi) grown on fluventic Ustochrepts during the year 2010-11 and 2011-12. Eighteen treatments, comprising combinations of two land configuration (L1: raised bed and L2: flat bed), three varieties (V1: GJ-38, V2: CSV 216R and V3: BP-53) and three integrated nutrient management (F1: 100 % RDF, F2: 75 % RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha-1and F3: 100 % RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha-1) levels were evaluated in split plot design with four replications. The soil of the experimental field was clayey in texture, low in organic carbon and available nitrogen and high in available phosphorus and potassium.
