The field experiment entitled Effect of different nitrogen levels and rice straw incorporation on growth and Productivity of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in south-west Punjab was conducted during the rabi season of 2017-18 at Research Farm of Guru Kashi University, Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda (Punjab). The trail was laid out in split plot design with four nitrogen levels viz., 0 kg N/ha (N0), 40 kg N/ha (N1), 60 kg N/ha (N2) and 80 kg N/ha (N3) in main plot and two levels of rice straw incorporation viz., Control (S0) and 10 tonnes/ha (S1) in sub plot. The results showed that the 80 kg N/ha recorded maximum plant height ( cm), dry matter accumulation ( q/ha), number of effective tillers/m2 (), ear length ( cm), number of grains per ear () and test weight ( g), grain yield ( q/ha), straw yield ( q/ha) and harvest index () than other nitrogen levels. Similarly, application of rice straw incorporation@10 tonnes/ha recorded higher plant height ( cm), dry matter accumulation ( q ha-1 ) and yield attributes . number of effective tillers/m2 (), ear length ( cm), number of grains/ear () and test weight ( g) as compared to control. | Effect of different nitrogen level and rice straw incorporation on the productivity of Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in south-west punjab
