Abstract:
The present experiment entitled “Effect of nutrient management on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under middle zone of U.P.” was carried out at Shradheya Bhagwati Singh Agriculture Research Farm, Hajipur, Chandra Bhanu Gupta Krishi Snatkottar Mahavidyalaya, BKT, Lucknow (UP). The experiment was laid down in randomized block design with 7 treatment viz 100% NPK IF (T₁), 100% NPK IF + 10 kg S/ha (T₂), 100% NPK IF + 20 kg S/ha (T₃), 100% NPK IF + 5 kg Mn/ha (T₄), 100% NPK IF + 10 kg Mn/ha (T₅), 100% NPK IF + 2.5 kg Zn/ha (T₆) and 100% NPK IF + 5 kg Zn/ha (T₇) with three replications during rabi season of 2021-22. Result reveled that application of 100% NPK along with sulphur or Mn or Zinc improved the grain, straw and biological yield over 100% NPK alone. Crop fertilized with 100% NPK along with 20 kg sulphur. 100% NPK+10kg Mn ha or 100% NPK-5kg Zn ha^-1 increased the grain, straw and biological yield significantly over its lower dose. The same trend of data was also noted in nutrient concentration and uptake of nutrients.
