Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted during revision of 2018-19 and 2019-20 at Students' Instructional Farm CSA University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur with a view to find out the effect of FYM, methods of sowing and seed treatment on growth, yield attributes, yield and net income of late sown wheat. The 18 treatment combination were tested in split plot design with 3 replication on the basis of 2 years experiment result it was revealed that regarding the methods of sowing significantly better growth, yield attributes, grain yield (39.499 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (12.022%) and protein yield (475.892 q ha^-1) was received in criss-cross sowing method followed by line sowing method significant growth, yield attributes and grain yield (37.307 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (11.737%), and protein yield (438.587 q ha^-1) while the minimum growth, yield attributes, grain yield (34.128 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (11.469%) and protein yield (392.816 q ha^-1) was received in broadcasting method. Under nutrient management practices RDF + 10 tons FYM per hectare showed that significantly highest growth, yield attributes, grain yield (38.819 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (11.887%) and protein yield (462.262 q ha^-1) while the minimum growth, yield attributes, grain yield (35.137 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (11.599%) and protein yield (409.268 q ha^-1) was received in RDF alone. In case of seed treatment seed treated with 0.5% Zn solution was significantly growth, yield attributes and grain yield (39.762 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (12.165%), and protein yield (484.554 q ha^-1) followed by water soaked seed significant higher growth, yield attributes and grain yield (36.630 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (11.712%), and protein yield (429.430 q ha^-1) while the minimum growth, yield attributes, grain yield (34.542 q ha^-1), protein content (%) in grain (11.351%) and protein yield (393.310 q ha^-1) was received in dry seed.
