Abstract:
A field experiment conducted during 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Agricultural research farm Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj; to effect of sowing methods and nutrient resources on growth, yield attributes, grain yield and soil health of wheat. Data revealed that sowing methods; system of wheat intensification (SWI) found significantly higher tillers/hill, leaf area index, plant dry matter accumulations (g/hill), crop growth rate (g/hill/day), spike length, spikes/hill, grain yield, biological yield, gross return, net return and soil health of wheat over to FRIBS and conventional method of sowing. Application of nutrient sources viz. 75% inorganic fertilizers and 25% vermicompost was recorded maximum tillers/hill, leaf area index, plant dry matter accumulations (g/hill), crop growth rate (g/hill/day), spike length, spikes/hill, grain yield, biological yield, gross return, net return and soil health over to 100% inorganic fertilizers, 50% inorganic fertilizers and 50% vermicompost, 25% inorganic fertilizers and 75% vermicompost and 100% vermicompost.
