Abstract

Field experiments were conducted during kharif 2019 and 2020 at Holta Zero Budget Natural Farm (ZBNF), Department of Organic Agriculture and Natural Farming, CSK Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya, Palampur to evaluate the comparative efficacy of different components of natural farming on crop production and economics of black gram. The results revealed that yield attributes and yield (seed and straw) of black gram increased significantly with application of natural farming components in totality. Application of ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit + mulching (T7) significantly increased the seed yield of black gram over T8 (absolute control) by 61.4 and 233.1 per cent during 2019 and 2020, respectively and application of ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit (T4) recorded significantly higher net returns of Rs. 49265 ha-1 statistically at par with ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit + mulching (T4) in 2019. However, in 2020, application of ghanjeevamrit + jeevamrit + mulching (T7) recorded higher net returns of Rs. 64206 ha over other treatments.
