Effect of integrated nutrient management on yield and quality parameter of wheat (Triticum aestivum): Summer green gram (Vigna radiata L.) cropping sequence in middle Gujarat condition

Abstract

during the winter (rabi) and summer seasons 2019-20 and 2020-21, to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on yield attributes and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and its residual effect on succeeding green gram (Vigna radiata L.) under irrigated condition. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 10 treatments and 4 replications. Application of 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 + NPK consortium + Sulphur @ 20 kg ha -1 (gypsum) + 10 kg ha -1 ZnSO4) resulted in the higher grain (4114 kg ha -1 ) and stover yield (5662 kg ha -1 ) as well as protein content (12.52%) and protein yield (515 kg ha -1 ) wheat crop. In succeeding green gram crop, residual effect of application of 100% recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) + FYM @ 5 t ha -1 + NPK consortium + Sulphur @ 20 kg ha -1 (gypsum) + 10 kg ha -1 ZnSO4) recorded higher grain (1215 kg ha -1 ) and haulm yield (2735 kg ha -1 ) along with protein content (20.78%) and protein yield (253 kg ha -1 ) of crop.
