Abstract

An application of 5 tones of FYM+biofertilizer (Azospirilium+PSB @ 25 g kg-1 each)+60:30:30 kg NPK ha-1 produced significantly higher grain yield (25.86 q ha-1), fodder yield (43.96 q ha-1), gross return (Rs. 17742 ha-1) and net returns (Rs. 7600 ha-1) over rest of the treatment except application of 5 tones of FYM+biofertilizer+50:25:25 kg NPK ha-1 and application 5 tones of FYM+biofertilizer+40.20.20 kg of NPK ha-1. The application of 5 tones of FYM+biofertilizer+50:25:25 kg NPK ha-1 recorded highest B:C ratio (1.75) among all treatments. The treatment application of 5 tones of FYM+biofertilizer (Azospirillium and PSB @ 25 g kg-1 each)+40.20.20 kg NPK ha-1 was most economical and beneficial for achieving higher yield and net returns of pearl millet hybrid Shraddha for the kharif season in the light soil
