ABSTRACT
A field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2010-11 on medium black soil of Main Agricultural Research Station, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The experiment consisted three replication and fourteen treatments. Application of RPP (RDF+FYM @ 7.5 t ha-1) recorded significantly taller plants (68.11 cm), higher dry matter production (204.90 g/m row length) and number of effective tillers (137/ row length) at 90 DAS and greater ear length (9.01 cm), higher number of grains (41/ear), grain weight (1.39/ear) and (90.87 g/m row length), test weight (34.37 g), grain yield (2724 kg/ha), straw yield (4690 kg/ha), protein content (13.27%), net returns (Rs 35104/ha) and B:C (2.62) compared to other treatments. Under organic treatments SM (50%) basal +PM (50%) as top dressing at 30 DAS clearly followed RPP.
