Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2024-25 at the Crop Research Farm of Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj, India, to evaluate. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with nine treatments and replicated thrice. The treatments were Organic manures (FYM 10 t/ha, Vermicompost 5 t/ha and Poultry manure 2.5 t/ha) and Panchagavya (3%, 5%, 7%). Treatment no. 9 (Poultry manure - 2.5 t/ha + Panchyagavya - 7% foliar spray) demonstrated superior performance, producing the tallest plants (86.20 cm), highest dry weight (22.53 g), and maximum effective tillers per square meter (270.34). It also achieved the highest number of grains per spike (46.04), grain yield (5.60 t/ha), and straw yield (7.01 t/ha).
