Effect of FYM and Inorganic Fertilizers on Nutrient Content, Uptake and Quality Traits of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Indo-Gangetic Plain of Uttar Pradesh

Abstract

A field trial was conducted on sandy loam soil having low status of organic carbon and accessible nitrogen, medium in accessible phosphorous and high in accessible potassium at pot house of department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry of C.S.A.U.A&T, Kanpur (campus) under Indo-Gangetic Plain zone of Uttar Pradesh, amid Rabi season of 2018-19. The experiment comprised of 5 treatment combinations in randomized block design with four replications consisted of T1: [Control], T2: [100% RDF], T3: [75% RDF + FYM at 6 t ha-1], T4: [50% RDF + FYM at 12 t ha-1], T5: [25% RDF + FYM at 18 t ha-1]. Wheat variety PBW-343 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. On the premise of the comes about exuded from the present investigation, it might be concluded that application of 25% RDF + FYM at18 t ha-1 significantly recorded maximum nutrient content viz. N, P and K content in grain is 1.97%, 0.25% and 0.36% respectively and N,P, and K content in straw is 0.32%, 0.064% and 1.76% respectively. Maximum nutrient uptake viz. N, P and K uptake in grain is 86.58 %, 10.77% and 5.85% respectively and N, P, and K uptake in straw is 22.98%, 4.16% and 1.76 % respectively. Among the quality traits maximum protein content (11.78 %) was also associated with application of 25% RDF + FYM at 18 t ha-1. The present investigation clearly points out the significance of balanced use of nutrients including FYM in wheat for improving the nutrient content and uptake indices and quality of wheat crop.

Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth Parameters, Yield Components and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under Central Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh

“…Phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) as bio-fertilizers have been found effective in solubilizing the fixed soil P and applied phosphates resulting in higher crop yields. The consequences of the current investigation are additionally in concurrence with the investigation of Agrawal et al [20], Jarvan et al [16], Choudhary et al [30], Panhwar et al [22] and Choudhary et al [14].…”

“…. It is reported that high amount of zinc is contained in pollen and mostly zinc is inverted to seed only during seed formation and an application of zinc improves grain formation" [14].…”

Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) on Growth Parameters and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…) and harvest index (36.95 %) has been associated with the control plot. The results of the present investigation were also in agreement with the findings of Choudhary et al [11].…”

“…At present about 48.1% of Indian soils are rated as very low in available zinc [3]. Hence, present investigation was carried out to study the growth, yield and nutrient uptake behaviour of wheat to define optimum dose under integrated use of FYM [4].…”

Impact of Irrigation Scheduling, Moisture Conservation Practices and Nutrient Management on Performance of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…The beneficial effect of FYM might be attributed to increased activities of heterotrophic bacteria and fungi in soil, which in turn increased the activity of soil enzymes responsible for the conversion of unavailable form of nutrients to available form. The similar beneficial effect of nutrient management in wheat are also reported by several scientist Menka et al, [12], Sheoran et al, [13] and Choudhary et al [14].…”
