A field experiment entitled, Growth and phenology of barley as influenced by various nutrient management practices was conducted during the Rabi season of 2017-2018 at the Research Farm of department of Agronomy, Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar with the objective to study the effect of integrated nutrient management practices on growth and phenology of barley. The experimental field soil was sandy loam in texture, slightly alkaline in reaction, low in organic carbon and nitrogen, medium in available potassium and phosphorus. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice with ten different treatments viz. T1(Control) , T2 (Biomix) , T3 (Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1), T4 (Biomix + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1), T5 (50 % RDN + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1), T6 (75 % RDN + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1), T7 (50% RDN + Biomix + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1), T8 (75 % RDN + Biomix+ Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1), T9 (RDN) and T10 (RDN + Biomix + Vermicompost @ 5 t ha-1). Among various nitrogen management practices treatments T10 recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz. [plant height (cm), number of tillers / m.r.l. and dry matter accumulation/plant (g/plant)] of barley. Treatment T8 (75 % RDN + Biomix+ Vermicompost @ 5t ha-1) was at par with treatment T9 (RDN) and T10 (RDN + Biomix + Vermicompost @ 5t ha-1) in terms of growth of barley. Treatment T10 took highest number of days to flag leaf emergence, booting, anthesis and maturity as compared to other treatments. But days taken to emergence and tillering of barley was not influenced significantly due to various combinations of nitrogen fertilizer, biomix and vermicompost.
