Abstract:
The present investigation entitled "Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was carried out at Crop Research Farm of National Post Graduate College, Barhalganj, Gorakhpur, (U P.) during rabi season on 2021 with the objective to study the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on growth, yield and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The soil of the experimental field was silty loam in texture with low, medium and high in N, P and K respectively. The experimental site is situated in subtropical zone in indo gangatic planes. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 6 treatment combinations and 3 replications. Wheat was sown on 21st November 2020 with treatment combinations viz. T1 - RDF, T2 - 75% RDF + FYM 6 ton /ha, T3 - 50% RDF + FYM 12 ton /ha, T4 - 75% RDF + Vermicompost 1.875 ton/ha, T5 - 50% RDF + Vermi compost 3.750 ton / ha, T6 - 50% RDF + FYM 6 ton + Vermicompost 1.875 ton /ha. respectively. The crop was harvested on 30th April 2021. The result indicated that the treatment combination T6 - 50% RDF + FYM 6 ton /ha + 1.875 ton / ha. was registered significantly superior in terms of plant height, number of tillers, dry weight, leaf area index, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, gross return (Rs/ ha) and net return (Rs / ha.) respectively over rest of the treatments. Integrated use of organic manures along with optimum doses of chemical fertilizers increased the growth parameters and yield of wheat.
