- Abstract
The result of the study indicated significantly higher grain (3707 and 3503 kg/ha) and stover (8120 and 7743 kg/ha) yields with application of 120 and 90 kg N/ha, respectively. The grain yield of 3674 kg/ha was recorded with vermicompost @ 1.5 t/ha. Use of 120 kg N/ha topped the list by recording remarkably higher protein (11.41 %) and oil (4.06 %) in grain, while vermicompost @ 1.5 t/ha recorded the highest protein (11.48 %) and oil content (4.06 %) in grain, but it was at par with 1.0 t/ha vermicompost. Significantly higher uptake of N (71.74 kg/ha), P205 (10.00 kg /ha) and K2O (13.147 kg /ha) by grain and N (56.62 kg/ha), P2O5 (6.14 kg/ha) and K2O (59.59 kg /ha) by stover was recorded by application of nitrogen @ 120 kg/ha, while higher uptake of N (69.93 kg/ ha), P2O5 (9.77 kg/ha) and K2O (13.04 kg/ha) by grain and N (55.98 kg/ha), P2O5 (6.12 kg/ha) and K2O (58.70 kg/ha) by stover was recorded by application of vermicompost @ 1.5 t/ha.
