Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in Tamil Nadu Agricultural University farm, Coimbatore to
compare the organic nutrient management packages with integrated nutrient management
(INM) in cotton. The experiment was consisted of eighteen treatments, laid out in Randomized
Complete Block Design and replicated thrice. The results revealed that INM practices increased
the plant height over other treatments. Significant increase in yield components like sympodial
branches plant-1, number of bolls plant-1 and boll weight were observed under INM treatment and
was at par with recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), Farm yard manure and poultry manure
compared to all other treatment combinations. The INM practice resulted in significantly higher
seed cotton yield and was comparable with RDF. The quality characters did not exhibit any
significant variation among the nutrient management practices. Higher gross and net returns
and B:C ratio were also recorded in INM practices.
