Granules were tested at 12.5, 18 and 25 kg/ha under three contrasting agro-ecological environments. The trial showed positive responses in crop growth, yield attributes, seed production and straw biomass.
Productivity Above and Below the Harvest Line
Grain Productivity
At 25 kg/ha:
Akrot
1,543 kg/ha vs 1,076 kg/ha control
Palampur
2,068 kg/ha vs 1,443 kg/ha control
Awarna
1,265 kg/ha vs 864 kg/ha control.
Biomass Productivity
Straw yield at 25 kg/ha reached:
2,840 kg/ha — Akrot
3,463 kg/ha — Palampur
2,623 kg/ha — Awarna
compared with 2,340, 2,525 and 1,821 kg/ha in the respective controls.
