Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2009 at Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur, Rajasthan to find out the effect of tillage and integrated nutrient management on sorghum productivity grown with three tillage practices (Conventional tillage, reduced tillage and minimum tillage) assigned in main plot and four 1 NM practices RDF (80 kg N+40 kg P2O5+40 kg K2O/ha) through inorganic fertilizer, 75% RDF through inorganic fertilizer+5 t FYM/ha, 50% RDF through inorganic fertilizer+2.5 t FYM/ha+Azotobacter+PSB and control (Native fertility). Sorghum crop under conventional tillage recorded significantly higher grain, fodder and protein yield and NPK uptake over minimum tillage. Among the INM treatments, RDF recorded significantly higher grain, fodder, protein yield and NPK uptake over rest of the treatments. Conventional tillage and application of 75% RDF+5 t FYM/ha provided maximum moisture content in both the depths i. e. 0-15 and 15-30 cm at all the stages of crop growth.
