Abstract:
Aim: The present investigation was carried out to study the effect of fertility levels and biochar on yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).
Methodology: The experiment was undertaken during Rabi 2017 and 2018 at Instructional Farm (Agronomy), Rajasthan College of agriculture, Udaipur (Rajasthan). The treatments comprised of four levels of fertility i.e. control, 75% RDF, 100% RDF, 125% RDF and Biochar (BC) i.e. control, BC @ 4.0, 8.0 and 12.0 t ha-1 and. The experiment was laid out in a factorial randomized block design with three replications.
Results: The increasing levels of 125% RDF and Biochar 12 t ha-1 and, respectively increased significantly the grain yield, straw yield and biological yield of wheat. However, the combined application of 125% RDF and Biochar @ 12 t ha-1 was found to record significantly grain yield, straw yield and biological yield.
Interpretation: The application of application of 125% RDF and Biochar @ 12 t ha-1 along with the recommended dose of fertilizer results in grain yield, straw yield and biological yield of wheat.
