Abstract:
This study was conducted on “Effect of irrigation scheduling and nutrient management on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in central U.P” during the Rabi season of 2020-21 on Agricultural Farm of RAMA UNIVERSITY, KANPUR, 209217, (U.P.) INDIA. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD with three replication. Four irrigation schedule I0Control no irrigation, I₁ at CRI stage (25 DAS), I₂ at tillering stage (45 DAS), I₃ at milking stage (105DAS) were allocated to the main plot along with the combination of four nutrient management schedule N0 Control no fertilizer, N₁ 100%RDF (NPK 120:60:40), N₂ NPK + FYM 10t/ha, N₃ NPK+ vermicompost 10t/ha. Among the factors applied the irrigation schedule (I₁ at CRI stage (25 DAS)) and Nutrient Doses (N₂ NPK + FYM 10t/ha) found to be best in the terms of Plant population, Plant height, Dry matters, Number of tillers, number of effective tillers, leaf area index, days taken to flowering, length of ear, number of spike, number of spikelet/ear, number of grain per ear, biological yield, grain yield, straw yield, harvest index and B:C ratio.
