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

Abstract

An experiment was conducted during spring season of 2021-22 at Agronomy Research Farm, Dolphin PG college of Science and Agriculture Chunni Kalan, Fatehgarh Sahib Punjab, India. The experiment consists of fourteen treatments were laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replication. The obtained results revealed that the growth parameters were significantly influenced by different integrated nutrient management at successive growth stages of wheat crop except 30 days. The growth rate of the experimented plants were increased progressively with increase in duration of wheat crop. Growth rate was maximized up to 90 days and followed by a slightly increase in growth was obtained up to harvest. Among the treatment evaluated, 100% RDF +25% N through (vermicompost) + ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1 proved to found better with respect to plant height ( 92.25 cm), dry matter accumulation (274.65 g m-2) and number tillers m-2 (92.43 m-2) at harvest stage in respective years. Leaf area index was measured tended to maximum at 60 days. The minimum growth parameters were observed under control. Maximum grain yield (55.32 q ha-1), straw yield (81.14 q ha-1), biological yield (136.46 q ha-1) and harvest index (40.53 %) was associated with the plot fertilized with 100% RDF +25% N through (vermicompost)+ ZnSO4 @ 25 kg ha-1

Integrated Effect of Synthetic Fertilizers and Bio-Inoculant on Growth, Yield Attributes and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…The maximum number of grains (57.67), length of ear (12.75 cm), fresh weight (156.24 g) and dry weight (25.25 g) of wheat were recorded in treatment T6 [125 % RDF + Azotobacter] followed by treatment T7 [100 % RDF + Azotobacter] with the value 54, 12.43 cm, 139.30 g and 22.52 g respectively, and the minimum number of grains (28.33), length of ear (7.25 cm), fresh weight (75.19 cm) and dry weight (12.15 g) of wheat was recorded in control. The results of the present investigation are also in agreement with the findings of Kumar et al, [14] Verma et al, [15] and Patyal et al, [16]…”

Effect of Seaweed Extract Application Rate and Method on Growth, Flowering and Yield of Pansy (Viola x wittrockiana)

“…Secondly, the continuous supply of nutrients and growth-promoting compounds through drenching stimulates lateral branching and encourages the plants to produce more side shoots, resulting in a fuller and more expansive plant spread. The findings of the present investigation are in conformity with the reports of Tartil et al, [16] in pot marigold; Karim et al, [11] and El-Hady [12] in Tuberose; Sohier et al, [13] in Dahlia; Sumangala et al, [6] and Kularthne et al, [7] in rose; Alhasan et al, [8] in gerbera; Zelikovic et al [9] in pansy; Tiwari et al, [10] in wheat.…”

“…Lastly, seaweed extracts enhance the plant's resistance to environmental stressors, such as drought and diseases, allowing the plant to allocate more energy towards vertical growth. Similar findings were reported by Khadim et al [5] in Carnation; Sumangala et al, [6] and Kularthne et al, [7] in rose; Alhasan et al, [8] in gerbera; Zelikovic et al [9] in pansy, Tiwari et al, [10] in wheat.…”

Growth Characteristics, Yield Components and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as Affected by Integrated Nutrient Management on under Central Plain Zone of Uttar Pradesh

“…This might be due to adequate quantities and balanced proportions of plant nutrients supplied to the crop as per need during the growth period resulting in favourable increase in yield attributing characters which ultimately led towards an increase in economic yield Singh et al [26,27]. These results also confirms the findings of Maurya et al [36], Kumar et al [28,29], Sirohiya et al [37] and Verma et al [34,35], [38][39][40][41].…”
