Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) and winter (rabi) seasons of 1998-99 and 1999-2000 at Dryland Research Substation, Rakh Dhiansar, Bari-Brahmana, to evaluate the residual effect of integrated nutrient management in maize (Zea mays L.) on succeeding gobhi sarson (Brassica napus L.) and chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Application of recommended dose of NPK (60:40:20 kg/ha) + 20 kg ZnSO4/ha during kharif significantly increased the grain yield of maize as well as the succeeding crops of gobhi sarson and chickpea. Application of farmyard manure (FYM) significantly increased the available N, P and K status of the soil after maize harvest. Available P status of the soil after the harvest of gobhi sarson and chickpea also increased significantly due to the residual effect of FYM and fertility levels
