SUMMARY

An experiment was conducted at Research Farm Area, Department of Agronomy, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar during Kharif 2022 to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on stover yield quality parameters of pearlmillet. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three replications containing 12 treatments. The crop was sown on 12 July, 2022 using pearl millet hybrid ‘HHB 67 improved’. Among the treatments, application of RDF (156.25 : 62.50 kg ha^-1 N : P) + 0.5% ZnSO₄ + 0.5% FeSO₄ + BIOMIX (T₁₂) resulted in significantly higher stover yield (70.33 q ha^-1), zinc (2.99 ppm), iron (4.13 ppm) content in stover of pearlmillet. It was statistically comparable to RDF + 0.5% ZnSO₄ + 0.5% FeSO₄ at 25 DAS (T₁₁) and RDF + 25 kg ha^-1 ZnSO₄ (T₈). The Zn and Fe content in stover was 17.0 & 7.7 % and 5.8 & 2.9 % higher over control and RDF, respectively. Maximum protein and NPK content were recorded in T₁₂.

Key words: Pearlmillet, quality, INM, zinc, iron, stover
