Title

Effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on productivity and economics of rice - cotton cropping system

Authors

Abstract

Field investigations were carried out in rice - cotton cropping system at the Annamalai University, Experimental Farm, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai Nagar, which represents the tail end area of Cauvery Deltaic Zone of Tamil Nadu, India, during September 2005 to June 2007 to study the effect of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on productivity and economics of rice - cotton cropping system. The whole research consist of two phases each phase contain two experiments, first experiment include rice and second experiment with cotton. First experiment (Rice) comprised of eight treatments with recommended dose of nitrogen and graded dose of nitrogen along with different organic manures. It was laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) and replicated thrice. With regard to second experiment (Cotton) all the main plots of rice (Experiment-I) were divided in to three equal sub plots in which rice fallow cotton was raised without and with fertilizer at different levels (0, 75 per cent and 100 per cent RDF). Performance of the cropping system as a whole was reflected by total economic produce, cost of cultivation, gross return and net return and return per rupee invested (Benefit cost ratio) by the two component crops of the cropping system was taken in to account to work out the aforesaid parameters of the cropping system. From the results of field trials, it may be inferred that combined application of 100% RDN + vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1 to rice and 75% RDF to cotton under rice - cotton cropping system may be an eco-friendly, economically viable and biologically active system that can be advocated to the farmers of tail end area of Cauvery Deltaic Zone of Tamil Nadu. In case of non availability of vermicompost, traditional practice of green manuring with @ 6.25 t ha-1 + 100% RDN to rice and 100% RDF to cotton under rice - cotton cropping system, may be a good alternative to augment rice and cotton yields, besides helping in the maintenance of soil health.

Key Words
