Abstract
An experiment was conducted on “Effect of Different Level of N P K and BiocharOn Soil Physico-Chemical Properties, Yield and Attribute of Finger Millet (EleusineCoracana) var. – KM 65” during Kharif season. The design applied was 3x3 randomized block design with three Level of NPK @ 0, 50, and 100 % ha-1 three level of Biochar @ 0, 50 and 100% respectively. The result obtained with treatment T9-[NPK@ 100% + Biochar @ 100%] that showed Biochar in combination resulted in a slight decrease in pH 6.78 and EC increase 0.26 dS m-1. In post soil of NPK fertilizers observations were resulted in significant increase in OC 0.82 %, Particle density 2.63 Mg m-3, Bulk density 1.08 Mg m-3, Pore space 58.93% and available N 328.75 kgha-1, P 36.10 kg ha-1, K 186.10 kg ha-1, significant increase in case of Nitrogen (kg ha-1), Phosphorus (kg ha-1), Potassium (kg ha-1) was found to be significant among other treatments in finger millet cultivation and soil quality improvement. The highest yield regarding, gave the best results with respect to plant height 110.18 cm, number of finger ear head-1 7.42, 1000 grain weight 3.48, it gave highest yield 27.29 q ha-1 It was also revealed that the application of NPK with Biochar were a better source for fertilization than other fertilizers.
