Abstract:
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) constitutes the most essential cereal crop in the world. Integrated nutrient management is the application of chemical fertilizers and organic manures together for crop productivity. The experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of chemical and organic fertilizers on growth, yield, and yield characteristics of three wheat varieties. The experiment arranged with a randomized block design with nine treatments and replicated thrice. In comparison to other treatments, DBW 187 + 120:60:40 N:P:K kg/ha had a significant effect on the growth and yield of wheat crops. At each growth stage, T8 (DBW 187 + 120:60:40 N:P: K kg/ha) exhibited higher growth parameters, including plant height, number of tillers per square meter, dry matter, etc. T8 (DBW 187 + 120:60:K kg ha1 N:P) exhibited a higher grain yield, straw yield, and harvest index as a result of this factor (N:P: K kg ha1). T8 (DBW 187 + 120:60:40 N:P: K kg/ ha) was characterized by increased gross returns, net returns, and B: C ratio.
