Abstract

The experiment was conducted on integrated nutrient management, dates of sowing and fertilizer levels in pearl millet based cropping sequence. The pearl millet crop was sown during kharif and Bengal gram, French bean crops were sown during rabi season as sequence crops to find out remunerative rabi crop for pearl millet based cropping sequence at College Farm, College of Agriculture, Professor Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University (PJTSAU), Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. The data was analysed in strip-split plot design and results revealed that higher pearl millet equivalent yield (PEY), system productivity and production efficiency were obtained with the mean and pooled data of two years (2014-15 & 2015-16) reveals that residual effect of 100% RDF + press mud @ 2.5 t ha-1 (M3), significantly recorded higher pearl millet equivalent yield as compared to 100% RDF(M1) and 100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha-1 (M2), Among the four dates of sowing, D3 (after harvest of July 15th sown pearl millet) significantly recorded higher pearl millet equivalent yield, system productivity and production efficiency and it was on par with D2 (after harvest of June 30th sown pearl millet) followed by D1 (after harvest of June 15th sown pearl millet) and minimum equivalent, system productivity and production efficiency were found with D4 (after harvest of July 30th sown pearl millet). Among the different fertilizer levels, crop fertilized with 100% RDF to bengal gram (S1) and 100% RDF to French bean (S3) resulted in significantly maximum PEY, system productivity and production efficiency compared to 50% RDF in both the pearl millet based rabi crops.
