The treatment with application of 50% NPK + 50% FYM (T6) registered higher crop yield (32.61 q ha-1) relative
to control (T1). The soil parameters; organic carbon content (0.87%), cation exchange capacity (13.80 Cmolkg-1)
and available Nitrogen (746.4 kg ha-1) and Phosphorus (48.3 kg ha-1) were statistically different from that of
control (T1). The findings of the trial suggested that crop yield and soil properties may be improved significantly
by application of organic with inorganic for longer time. Hence, instead of using chemical fertilizer alone, the
integrated use could be more effective and sustainable for environment and agriculture.
