Abstract:
A field experiment was carried out for two consecutive years (2014-16) at Dr YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni Solan, Himachal Pradesh to evolve
INPS system for higher productivity and profitability from pea-capsicum-radish cropping system. Results indicated that module T
6 resulted in highest yields 152.93, 351.55 and 341.68 q/ha in pea, capsicum and radish respectively. T
6 also enhanced soil health as envisaged through the increased post-harvest availability of N, P and K by 13.95, 26.80 and 22.22 per cent, over the initial content. Therefore, it can be concluded that integrated module T
6 resulted in saving of 10 % of fertilizers (NPK), better growth, improving yield, and also enhanced soil health thus, can be a cost effective combination for getting higher yield with grater quality on sustainable basis.
