Abstract
Integrated Nutrient Management enhances soil fertility and crop productivity in legume-cereal systems by integrating organic, inorganic, and biological nutrients, improving nitrogen fixation, soil health, and nutrient efficiency while reducing chemical fertilizer dependence.The present investigation was initiated was laid out in randomized block design comprising of ten treatments with three replications.The treatments consisted T 1 : control, T 2 : 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF), T 3 : 75 % RDF, T 4 : 50% RDF, T 5 : 50% RDF+ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 , T 6 : 50% RDF+FYM @ 5 t ha -1 , T 7 : 50% RDF+ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 , T 8 : 75% RDF+ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 , T 9 : 75% RDF+FYM @ 5 t ha -1 , T 10 : 75% RDF+ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 .The findings revealed that the application of 75% RDF combined with ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha - and FYM @ 5 t ha -1 resulted in the highest and statistically significant improvement in growth parameters of kharif cluster bean and the subsequent rabi barley crop.However, most growth attributes remained statistically comparable to the treatment receiving 100% RDF for the respective crops, indicating the efficacy of integrated nutrient management in sustaining crop performance with reduced chemical fertilizer input.The application of 75% RDF + ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 resulted in the highest total N, P, and K concentrations in both cluster bean seed and stover, with statistically significant differences compared to other treatments.However, these values were statistically comparable to all treatments except those receiving 75% RDF and 50% RDF without FYM.This treatment also recorded the highest total Zn content in cluster bean, demonstrating significant superiority over all other treatments.In barley, total N, P, and K content in both grain and straw did not exhibit significant variation across treatments.However, the highest total Zn content in barley grain (22.15 mg kg -1 ) was observed in the 75% RDF + ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 treatment, which was significantly superior to all other treatments.The application of 75% RDF + ZnSO 4 @ 20 kg ha -1 + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 significantly enhanced gum content in cluster bean, whereas protein content remained statistically unaffected across treatments.In barley, although starch and protein content exhibited a numerical increase under integrated nutrient management, the differences were not statistically significant among treatments.Overall, the integrated application of organic and inorganic nutrient sources improved growth parameters and crop quality, underscoring its role in promoting sustainable crop production in the nutrient-deficient soils of Agra.
