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

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

grain (17.06 qha -1 ) and stover yield (40.84 qha -1 ) also (Table 1) as seen in the findings <strong>of</strong> Maruti<br />

Shankar et al. (2013<br />

The conventional tillage recorded significantly higher grain (16.62 q ha -1 ) and stover yield (40.46 q<br />

ha -1 ). However, it was on par with medium tillage (16.06 and 39.64 q ha -1 respectively). The moisture<br />

use efficiency (MUE) was maximum in conventional tillage (7.42 kg ha -1 mm -1 ). (Table). The N<br />

application 50 % through organic + 50 % through chemical fertilizer (N 2) recorded higher MUE<br />

(7.79 kg ha -1 mm -1 ).<br />

Conclusion<br />

One harrowing + sowing with seed drill and light harrowing + one hoeing at 3 rd week and 25 kg N<br />

through inorganic fertilizer (Urea) and 25 kg N through organic manure (12.5 kg N through crop<br />

residue (byre waste) + 12.5 kg N through Leucaena lopping or any green loppings) + 12.5 kg P 2O 5<br />

through fertilizer (SSP) is recommended for rRabi sorghum grown on medium deep black soils in<br />

scarcity zone <strong>of</strong> Maharashtra for getting higher grain and stover yield and monetary returns with<br />

saving <strong>of</strong> energy use and maintaining soil fertility.<br />
