The experiment was carried out during Rabi season 2015-16 and 2016-17 at Crop Research Farm, SHUATS Model of Organic Farm (SMOF), Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P.) to study the ‘Effect of System of Barley Intensification technique on growth parameters of organic barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)’. The pooled data recorded that SBI technique has significant and highest plant height (105.04 cm), maximum number of tillers/ hill (12.26), highest plant dry weight (23.573 g/ hill) and maximum number of effective tillers/ hill (11.28) at 90 DAS. The pooled data also recorded Kera method with significant and highest crop growth (20.703 g/ m²/ day) at 75 to 90 DAS intervals. Considering farm yard manure (12 t/ ha) pooled data showed significantly maximum number of tillers/ hill (12.24), higher plant dry weight (23.537 g/ hill) and maximum number of effective tillers/ hill (11.27) at 90 DAS was recorded. Further, significantly taller plant height (105.09 cm) by S₁ (Poultry manure, 2.6 t/ ha) at 90 DAS in pooled was recorded.
