Abstract:
An experiment was conducted on “Assessment of different levels of N P K and Zn on Physico-chemical Properties of Soil and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)” during Rabi season 2013-14 at the Research farm of Department Soil Science, Allahabad School of Agriculture, Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences (Deemed-to-be-University) Allahabad, trial was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications, 3 × 3 factorial RBD, on sandy loam soil in which sand 61.73.%, silt 21.12% and clay 18.15% (Inceptisol), consisted nine treatment it was observed that the best results were reported for post harvest soil properties in treatment T8-(@N P K100 kg ha-1 +@Zn30 Kg ha-1), OC 0.62%, available nitrogen 309.37 kg ha-1, phosphorus 27.94 kg ha-1 and potassium 206.45 kg ha-1 respectively, available N, OC and Zn were found to be significant. In treatment T8 and treatment T7 (@N P K75 kg ha-1 +@Zn30 kg ha-1) adequate plant nutrient supply holds the key for improving the food grain production and sustaining soil fertility and food security.
