Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at Experimental Farm, Annamalai University, Tamil Nadu to study the effect of cultivars and integrated nutrient management on nutrient content, quality and water productivity. On the basis of experimental data, significant improvements were recorded in the nutrient content, quality and water productivity. Highest nutrient content, protein content, protein yield and water productivity were observed in cv. PHB-3 compared to other cultivars. With respect to integrated nutrient management, 75% RDF+biofertilizers @ 5 kg/ha incubated with vermicompost @ 500 kg/ha recorded highest nutrient content, protein content, protein yield and water productivity over the rest of the treatments.
