- Intervention effect In Stage I, T2 increased soil organic carbon by 38% over the respective controls.
- Intervention effect In Stage II, T2 increased soil organic carbon by 50% over the respective controls.
- Intervention effect In Stage III, T2 increased soil organic carbon by 51% over the respective controls.
- Intervention effect Green manuring with Sesbania gave higher soil organic carbon in Stage II than in Stages I and III.
- Intervention effect Treated plots increased available nitrogen by 26.0-89.9% over control in Stage I.
- Intervention effect Treated plots increased available nitrogen by 15.2-64.5% over control in Stage II.
- Intervention effect Treated plots increased available nitrogen by 4.9-52.0% over control in Stage III.
- Observation Across the three stages, the sequence showed a positive balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in soil under the different treatments.
- Intervention effect The FYM 6.7 t/ha with N:P:K 133:40:40 treatment raised maximum available nitrogen by 36.1% over initial status.
- Intervention effect The FYM 6.7 t/ha with N:P:K 133:40:40 treatment raised maximum available phosphorus by 129.0% over initial status.
- Intervention effect The FYM 10 t/ha with N:P:K 100:30:30 treatment raised maximum available potassium by 65.20% over initial status.
- Recommendation Supply of organic and inorganic fertilizer (T4) is the most suitable combination for N and P availability in soil and productivity of mint and mustard.
