The available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are 180.78 kg N/ha, 20.14 kg P2 O5 /ha, and 200.64 kg K2O/ha, respectively. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) having ten treatments with three replications. The treatments comprises with different rates of Jeevamrit, Farmyard manure (FYM) and vermicompost.
