Abstract
A pot experiment was conducted during kharif
2019 at S.K.N. College of Agriculture, Jobner (Rajasthan), to study the effect
of soil sanity and bio-organics on yield, nutrient content and uptake by
cowpea. The experiment comprising of 16 treatment combinations replicated
thrice, was laid out in completely randomized design with four levels of soil
salinity (1.22, 2, 4 and 6 dS/m) and four sources of bio-organics (control, Rhizobium,
vermicompost and Rhizobium+ vermicompost) as variables. Results showed
that effect of soil salinity levels on yield, nutrient content (P, K,) and
uptake by grain and straw were found lower at 6 dSm1, while N,
content increased significantly in seed and straw at soil salinity level of 6
dSm-1 and uptake of N was found significantly lower. The Rhizobium
treated seeds along with soil manured with vermicompost @ 5 t/ha significantly
increased yield, nutrient content (N, P, K,) and uptake by grain and straw over
control. Among the treatment combinations at 1.22 dSm-1 level of
soil salinity with use of bio-organics (Rhizobium + vermicompost @ 5
t/ha) proved to be superior in all these parameters over other treatments.
