1. INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT IN PADDY - LATHYRUS CROPPING SYSTEM IN EASTERN VIDARBHA REGION Presented by G.J.Bhagat Asstt. Professor (Agronomy) DR. PANJABRAO DESHMUKH KRISHI VIDYAPEETH, AKOLA

2. 1.To study the effect of different sources of nutrient on Paddy-Lathyrus cropping system. 2. To workout the economics of Paddy- Lathyrus cropping system Objectives

13. Conclusion: 1) Application of 100 % RDN to paddy and lathyrus recorded highest NMR and B:C ratio 2) Application of 75 % RDN through fertilizer+ 25% RDN through vermicompost to paddy and 100 % RDN to lathyrus recorded highest GMR.
