Abstract:
The present field experiment was conducted at an Agricultural Farm Rama University, Kanpur (U.P) India. the Central Plain zone of Uttar Pradesh, during Rabi season of 2020-21. The experiment comprised of 7 treatment combinations in randomized block design with three replications consisted of T₁: 100% RDF, T₂: 100% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha^-1, T₃: 100% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha^-1, T₄: 100% RDF + FYM @ 15 t ha^-1,T₅: 75% RDF + FYM @ 5 t ha^-1, T₆: 75% RDF + FYM @ 10 t ha^-1, T₇: 75% RDF + FYM @ 15 t ha^-1. On the basis of the results emanated from present investigation, it could be concluded that application of 100% RDF + FYM @ 15 t ha^-1 applied in wheat to significantly increases growth parameter i.e. plant height and yield attributes i.e. length of cob, no. of cob per plant, no. of grain per cobs and seed index (g). Results also showed that among the different fertility levels, application of 100% RDF + FYM @ 15 t ha^-1 significantly enhanced productivity parameters i.e. grain yield, straw yield, biomass yield except harvest index over the 100% RDF. Higher values of economics viz., gross return (Rs. 140822 ha^-1), net return (Rs. 79495 ha^-1) and B:C ratio (1.30) in maize was observed with the application of 100% RDF + FYM @ 15 t ha^-1 except cost of cultivation.
