Natural Farming Practices Impact on Yield and Macro Nutrient Uptake of Sorghum

The objective of the experiment is to study effect different natural farming practices on sorghum yield and nutrient uptake. For this a field was carried out in 2023 at Eastern block - Field No. NA 02, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), Coimbatore. included randomized design with nine treatments three replications. Zero Budget Natural Farming techniques were fully implemented, encompassing use Ghanajeevamirit as basal application, treating seeds Beejamirit, applying Jeevamirit every two weeks via irrigation, practicing intercropping mulching, employing Whapasa (Alternate Furrow irrigation). Additionally, both organic integrated plots into approach. Results revealed that application 50% inorganic pest repellants ICM (T8) produced noticeably highest grain (2781 kg ha-1), stover (5682 ha-1) NPK uptake (135.39, 45.09 80.49 which comparable T9 using chemical repellants. In comparison plots, plot (T7) showed considerably higher yields (2555 (5456 (122.49, 39.40, 66.91 ha-1). There greater (2294 (5173 (108.32, 34.17, 56.17 complete T2, include all components (B+J+G+M+I+W) compared control treatment had lower (1597 (4306 rates (58.28, 15.49 27.75
