Abstract
Oat (Avena sativa L.) is used as a
green fodder, straw, hay or silage. A field experiment was carried out during
2014-15 and 2015-16 with the concept of integrated nutrient management under
partially reclaimed sodic soil. Results indicated that maximum plant height at
120 days (157.7 cm), tillers plant-1 at 90 days (6.42), length of
spike (38.7 cm) test weight (28.57 g), grain yield (34.92 q ha-1),
straw yield (82.77 q ha-1) and maximum harvest index (29.64 %) was
recorded with T2- NPK (80:40:40 kg ha-1) which was
significantly higher than all the treatments followed by the treatment T3-
½ NPK + 10t FYM showing the value of plant height at 120 days (152.5 cm),
tillers plant-1 at 90 days (6.17), length of spike (37.2 cm) test
weight (27.42 g), grain yield (34.22 q ha-1), straw yield (81.68 q
ha-1) and maximum harvest index (29.52%). Seed treatment with Trichoderma
or PSB with ½ doses of NPK also responded significantly over control in all the
parameters. However, combined seed treatments with PSB + Trichoderma + ½
doses of NPK were much effective in comparison to single inoculation of Trichoderma
or PSB.
