Abstract

In a field experiment, neem [Azadirachta indica] cake blended with ammonium sulphate (AS) and urea significantly increased the grain and straw yields of finger miller over untreated ones. The uptake of N and P were higher in the neem cake treated plots. K uptake decreased with increase in the levels of N applied. Among different N levels tried, highest grain and straw yields were recorded with N applied at 90 kg/ha with or without neem cake. The net profit also increased with neem cake blended AS and urea.
