Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth, Yield Attributes and Yield of Wheat

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at Agronomy Research Area, CCS HAU Hisar to study 
the effect of integrated nutrient management on growth, yield attributes and yields of wheat. The experiment was laid out 
in randomized block design with three replication and ten treatments viz. T1.Control, T2.100% RDN (recommended dose 
of nitrogen)+25% N through FYM, T3.100% RDN+25% N through vermicompost, T4.75% RDN+25% N through FYM, 
T5.75% RDN+ 25% N through vermicompost, T6.50% RDN+50% N through FYM, T7. 50% RDN+50% N through 
vermicompost, T8.25% RDN+75% N through FYM T9.25% RDN+75% N through vermicompost and T10. 100% RDN. 
The highest yield attributes and yield of wheat was produced with application of 100 percent recommended dose of 
nitrogen (RDN)+25 percent nitrogen through vermicompost during both the consecutive years, but it did not differ 
significantly with application of 100 percent recommended dose of nitrogen (RDN)+25 percent nitrogen through FYM 
and the treatment where 100 percent of recommended dose of nitrogen was applied. On the basis of two years pooled 
data, T3 produced 94.96 percent higher number effective tillers, 34.14 percent taller spike length, 25.47 percent more test 
weight, 165.21 percent higher grain yield and 157.13 percent higher straw yield of wheat over control.
