Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagra, Uttar Pradesh, India. The soil of experimental plot was sandy loam in texture, nearly neutral in soil reaction (pH 7.1), low in organic carbon (0.36%), available N (171.48 kg/ha), available P (15.2 kg/ha) and available K (232.5 kg/ha). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments (T1-T9). The results showed that Neem cake -1t/ha + FYM-7.5t/ha was recorded significantly higher Plant height (94.11 cm), No. of tillers/hill (10.35), Plant dry weight (17.83 g/plant), Crop growth rate (7.05 g/m2/day), Effective tillers (10.15), spike length (11.21 cm), Test weight (35.16 g), Grain yield (4.21 t/ha), Straw yield (7.69 t/ha) and harvest index (35.47%).
Background: Wheat (Triticum aestinum L.) is one of the leading cereals in the world. It is the second most staple food in India. Wheat grown in the Indo-gangetic plains with the use of high concentrate chemical plains with the use of concentrate chemical fertilizers in the last several years causing wide spread of nutrient deficiency in the soil. In order to increase wheat production and productivity and to maintain soil health the use of ancient method of cultivation by using organic manures.
Objective: To study the effect of different organic manures on growth and yield of Wheat.
