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

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.
