Abstract
A field experiment was carried out during rabi season 2015-16 at college farm, N.M college of Agriculture, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, India. The experiment laid out in factorial randomized block design having three factors with two levels of inorganic fertilizer @ 75% RDF, 100 % RDF, three levels of vermicompost @ 0 t/ha, 2.0 t/ha, 4.00 t/ha and tow levels bio fertilizers control and Azospirillum + PSB, each replicated three times. The result shows an available nutrient in soil was significantly influenced due to various level of inorganic fertilizers. The maximum N, P2O5 and K2O were recorded in 100% RDF (F2) which was found significantly differ from the 75% RDF treatments. Significantly the maximum net return (Rs. 203987/ha) was recorded with 100% RDF (F2) with BCR of 7.61 followed by 75% RDF (Rs. 177326/ha) with BCR of 6.91. An available nutrient in soil was significantly influenced due to various level of vermicompost. The maximum N, P2O5 and K2O were recorded in vermicompost @ 4.0 t/ha (V2). Significantly the maximum net return (Rs. 202755/ha) was recorded with vermicompost @ 4.0 t/ha (V2) with BCR of 5.10 followed by vermicompost @ 2.0 t/ha (V1) (Rs. 186502/ha) with BCR of 5.85. Application of biofertilizer had non-significant effect on most of the crop growth parameter, yield attributes.
