Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2016 under rainfed condition on clay loam soil at All India Coordinated Sorghum Improvement Project, Main Agricultural Research Station, Dharwad (Karnataka) to study the effect of fortification of organics with iron and zinc in rabi sorghum under rainfed condition. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications and eleven treatments. Results of the study revealed that soil application of RDF + Enriched FYM 1 (i.e. 50 kg FYM ha 1 + 3.75 kg ZnSO4 ha 1 FeSO4 ha 1) recorded significantly higher grain yield (4287 kg ha-1), fodder yield (7.51 t ha-1), gross returns ( 211924 ha 1), net returns ( 85702 ha 1) and BC ratio (3.50) over control, recommended dose of fertilizer and recommended package of practices. The growth and yield parameters viz., leaf area (48.08 dm2 plant-1), grain weight (62.33 g plant-1) and test weight (37.77 g) were significantly higher with same treatment.
