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

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to studies effect of integrated nutrient management on growth parameters, yield components and yield of wheat during rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at students instructional farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur. The experiment consist of 10 treatments combinations in randomized block design with three replications consisted of different combination of inorganic fertilizer, organic manure and biofertilizer. Wheat variety HD-2967 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. On the basis of results emanated from investigation it can be concluded that among the growth parameters maximum plant height at maturity was 109.25 cm and 110.12, maximum number of effective tillers is 352.67 and 355.72 and maximum spike length is 13.55 cm and 13.79 cm are associated with the treatment T10 [100%NPK + FYM + S30+ Zn5 +Azotobacter + PSB] during the both years of experimentation. Similarly, among the yield components and productivity parameters maximum values in relation to number of spikelet ear-1, grain ear-1, 1000 grain wt. (gm), grain yield (q ha-1) and straw yield (q ha-1) were found in the treatment T10 [100%NPK+FYM+S30+Zn5+Azotobacter+ PSB].

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

“…The zenith of these yield attributing characters-spikelet ear -1 (22.95), grain ear -1 (46.03), and 1000-grain weight (42.13 grams)-is linked with the T10 treatment during the second year of experimentation (2022-23). In contrast, the nadir of these attributes-Spikelet ear -1 (16.10), Grain ear -1 (34.70), and 1000-grain weight (33.41 grams)-aligns with the T1 [Control] treatment during the inaugural year of the study The results of the present investigation are also in agreement with the findings of Tripathi et al [31], Patel et al [32], Hadis et al [33], Verma et al [34,35] and Kumar et al [28,29].…”

“…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].…”

Impact of weed control practices and fertilizer management on the growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…However, in the current experiment, the minimum straw yield (35.80 q/ha) was recorded in unfertilized plots. Similar finding show Rather and Sharma (2009) [8] , Verma et al (2014) [6] , Kakraliya et al (2017) [9] . Singh et al (2018) [4] .…”

“…In the current experiment, the fertilizer applied at a rate of 150% NPK resulted in the longest ear length (16.42 cm), which was followed by rates of 100% NPK (15.55 cm) and 75% NPK (14.84 cm) over no fertilizer. [5] , Verma et al (2014) [6] , Singh et al (2018) [4] and Kumar et al (2019) [7] . In the current experiment, a notable difference in seed weight per ear was noted as a result of fertilizer application.…”

Effect of organic fertilizer and chemical fertilizer on growth and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivm)

“…Poultry dung supplies nutrients and is chosen because it contains more macronutrients other manures (Khaliq et al, 2004) (Kumar et al, 2022). Its appropriate application improves soil and plant nutritional status (Agbede et al, 2008) (Yadav, et al, 2022) and is advantageous because it improves soil fertility, soil organic matter, soil biota activities, and water holding capacity (Blay et al, 2002). Poultry dung has a high concentration of micronutrients and has a pH of 6-7.…”
