Abstract:
The present research attempts, titled “Influence of NPK levels and system of sowing on growth and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).” was conducted at the Agronomy Research Farm of the United University, Jhalwa Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, in the Rabi season of 2022-23 (U.P.). Ten treatment were used in the experiment viz: Three levels of RDF—50%, 75%, and 100%—as well as three sowing techniques-Normal practice, the System of Wheat Intensification, and furrow-irrigated raised beds with control—were used, as necessary, in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The observation revealed that the different treatment used during the experiment had a substantial impact on all growth indicators and yield qualities. A 100% RDF application (NPK/ha 120:60:60 kg) combined with a furrow-irrigated raised bed (FIRB) resulted in better values for all yield-attributing features and wheat yield, including grain yield (6.38 t/ha), straw yield (7.43 t/ha), and harvest index (46.91%). The use of 100% RDF (NPK/ha 120:60:60 kg) and furrow-irrigated raised beds (FIRB) resulted in the highest gross return (Rs. 144579.6 ha^-1), net return (Rs. 90939.44 ha^-1) and net income per rupee investment of B: C (1.70).
