Effect of green manuring on soil physico-chemical properties and yield

An experiment was conducted at College Farm N. M. College of Agriculture Navsari Agricultural University Navsari during the rabi season of 2012-2013 to study the “Effect of green manuring on soil physico-chemical properties and yield of sweet corn under South Gujarat condition”. The treatment was 2 levels of green manuring (G0: Fallow G1: Green Manuring with Dhaincha) and 4 levels of recommended dose of fertilizers (F0: No fertilizer F1: 50 % RDF F2: 75 % RDF and F3: 100 % RDF) in FRBD with 4 replications.Maximum yield of sweet corn it is recommended to apply 100 per cent RDF (120-60-60 kg N-P2O5 – K2O/ha) along with Dhaincha green manuring. This will also results in realizing higher net profit and BCR as well as result in significantly higher removal of nutrient and improved physico-chemical properties of soil.
