Abstract:
The present experiment entitled “Suitability of fertilizer recommendation equation derived for wheat crop in a Vertisol of farmer’s field” was conducted at village- Selud, block Patan, district – Durg of Chhattisgarh state during Rabi season, 2020. The objectives of the study were to test the validity of fertilizer recommendation equations derived for wheat crop in Vertisol and to estimate the nutrient requirement and efficiencies of soil, fertilizer and FYM. The experiment was consisted with 8 treatments replicated four times in a randomized block design. Treatments were T₁- Control (N₀P₀K₀), T₂- FYM @ 5 t/ha, T₃- (N₁₂₀P₆₀K₄₀), T₄- (N₀P₆₀K₄₀), T₅- (N₁₂₀P₀K₄₀), T₆- (N₁₂₀P₆₀K₀), T₇- (Fertilizer dose for yield target of 25 q/ha (81:32:21 kg/ha NPK), T₈- Fertilizer dose for yield target of 35 q/ha (139:57:50 kg/ha NPK). GW-366 variety of wheat was taken as test crop.
