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 viz. plant population at 60 days (481.968 m^-2), yield attributes viz. number of ear head (450.500 m^-2), grain yield (39.499 q ha^-1) and net return (52,085 ₹) was received in criss-cross sowing method followed by line sowing method plant population at 60 DAS (460.732 m^-2), number of ear head (432.943 m^-2), grain yield(37.307 q ha^-1) and net return (57,578 ₹) while the minimum plant population at 60 DAS (433.187 m^-2), number of ear head (413.503 m^-2), grain yield (34.128 q ha^-1) and net return (39,147 ₹) was in broadcasting method. Under nutrient management RDF + 10 t FYM ha^-1 proved that significantly better growth plant population at 60 DAS (483.89 m^-2), number of ear head (445.35 m^-2), grain yield (38.81 q ha^-1) and net return (47,966 ₹) while the lowest plant population at 60 DAS (4465.75 m^-2), number of ear head (419.289 m^-2), grain yield (35.137 q ha^-1) and net return (44,574 ₹) was in RDF alone. In case of seed treatment with 0.5% Zn solution was significantly highest plant population at 60 DAS (490.933 m^-2), number of ear head (455.877 m^-2), grain yield (39.762 q ha^-1) and net return (52,517 ₹) followed by water soaked seed but the minimum plant population at 60 DAS (432.697 m^-2), number of ear head (412.913 m^-2), grain yield (34.542 q ha^-1) and net return (40,833 ₹) was in dry seed.
