Effect of Integrated Nitrogen Management on Yield and Economic of Wheat Variety WH 1184

The field experiment was conducted at wheat research farm of CCS Haryana Agriculture University during Rabi season of 2019 - 20 to study the economics of wheat under integrated nitrogen management. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications containing 16 treatments combination i.e. T1 - Control; T2 - 100% RDN through urea; T3 - 100% RDN through FYM; T4 - 100% RDN through vermicompost; T5 - 50% RDN through urea+ 50% RDN through FYM; T6 - 50% RDN through urea+ 50% RDN through vermicompost; T7 - 25% RDN through urea+ 75% RDN through FYM; T8 - 25% RDN through urea 75% RDN through vermicompost; T9 - 100% RDN through urea + Azotobacter; T10 - 100% RDN through FYM + Azotobacter; T11 - 100% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter; T12 - 50% RDN through urea+ 50% RDN through FYM + Azotobacter; T13 - 50% RDN through urea+ 50% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter; T14 - 25% RDN through urea+ 75% RDN through FYM +Azotobacter; T15 - 25% RDN through urea+ 75% RDN through vermicompost + Azotobacter; T16 - Azotobacter. On the basis of one year data, application of 100% nitrogen nutrition through chemical fertilizer (urea) with seed treatment of Azotobacter produce 30.7 percent higher grain and 24.9 percent higher straw yield of wheat variety WH 1184 over control treatment. Application of 100% nitrogen nutrition through vermicompost with seed treatment of Azotobacter incurred highest cost of cultivation (66629 Rs/ha). The significantly higher gross return of wheat was obtained with the application of 100% nitrogen nutrition of chemical fertilizer along with seed treatment of Azotobacter (107923 Rs/ha) and B: C ratio (2.98) was achieved by nitrogen nutrition of 100% RDN through chemical fertilizer (urea) with seed treatment of Azotobacter being at par with nitrogen nutrition of 100% only chemical fertilizer (urea).
