International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

health. Most <strong>of</strong> the research work on gliricidia as a green leaf manure is focused on nitrogen<br />

contribution through gliricidia. However, limited studies have been carried out on<br />

contribution <strong>of</strong> potassium through gliricidia. The integrated long-term effect <strong>of</strong> gliricidia<br />

green leaf manuring as a source <strong>of</strong> potassium helps in sustaining crop productivity and soil<br />

health. The resultant outcome <strong>of</strong> the study will help to optimize the crop yields as well as<br />

balanced fertilization, which may help to reduce the cost on fertilizers and make cotton<br />

cultivation sustainable.<br />

Methodology<br />

An experiment with the combinations <strong>of</strong> organic and inorganic nutrient sources was<br />

conducted during 2015-16 to 2020-21 at the research field <strong>of</strong> AICRP for Dryland Agriculture,<br />

Dr. PDKV, Akola, Maharashtra on rainfed cotton in Vertisols. The soil <strong>of</strong> the experimental<br />

site was moderately alkaline in reaction, low in available nitrogen (185.80 kg ha -1 ), medium<br />

in available phosphorus (14.60 kg ha -1 ) and high in available potassium (322.0 kg ha -1 ). Soil<br />

samples were collected at harvest <strong>of</strong> crop and were analyzed as per standard methods.<br />

Results<br />

The pooled results (2015-16 to 2020-21) indicated that the highest seed cotton yield (1282.73<br />

kg ha -1 ) was recorded with the application <strong>of</strong> 100% NP + 10 kg K(inorganic)+20 kg K<br />

through gliricidia (T 4). Similar results were recorded by Satpute et al. (2019). The data<br />

presented in the table indicate that the higher Sustainability yield index (0.36) was recorded<br />

with the application <strong>of</strong> 100% NP + 10kg K(inorganic)+20kg K through gliricidia(T4),<br />

indicating the significant role <strong>of</strong> conjunctive use <strong>of</strong> gliricidia green leaf manure along with<br />

chemical fertilizers in sustaining the cotton productivity.<br />
