Agro – Physiological Traits, Nutrient Uptake, Quality and Economics of Oat under Saline Water Irrigation and Cutting Management Practices: Agronomic parameters of oat cultivation under saline irrigation

2024

During rabi season of 2022-23 and 2023-24, An experiment was conducted at Research Farm, Agronomy Department, CCS HAU, Hisar to study agro – physiological traits, nutrient uptake, quality and economics of oat cultivation under saline water irrigation and cutting management practices on sandy loam soil. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with irrigation sources (canal and tubewell) and irrigation levels (two irrigation 30 and 60 days after sowing (DAS); three irrigation 30, 60 and 90 DAS) assisted in main plots and cutting management practices {one cut at 50% flowering, two cuts for fodder (60 DAS and at flowering), cut + seed (one cut fodder at 60 DAS and second for seed) and seed (No cut for fodder)} in subplots and was replicated thrice. Irrigation through canal water produced significantly higher grain yield over tube well water irrigation. Similarly, significantly higher yield attributes, yield, nutrient uptake, protein content was recorded under three irrigations over two irrigations. Among cutting management practices, higher monetary benefit was achieved when either the crop was harvested at 50% flowering as fodder crop or harvested as seed crop over rest of the treatment.
