Impact of Organic Nutrient Management Practices on Yield Attributes, Yield and Economics of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Agricultural Research Station, Sumerpur, Pali (Rajasthan), India to find out suitable organic nutrient management practices for higher productivity and economics of wheat in Luni basin region of Rajasthan. The experiment was laid out in RBD with seven treatments. The results in terms of growth and yield attributes, grain yield and economics of wheat under different treatments were significantly different than control. Pooled data of two years' experimentation revealed that the maximum plant height (85.83 cm), number of tillers per meter row length (91.00), number of seed per ear head (55.18), ear head length (9.60 cm), test weight (37.17 g) and grain yield (39.14 q ha -1 ) were recorded with application of FYM @ 10 t ha -1 +Vermicompost @ 1.25 t ha -1 followed by treatment FYM @ 5 t ha -1 +Neem green leaves @ 2 t ha -1 +Vermicompost @ 1.25 t ha -1 . Net return was recorded significantly highest with FYM @ 10 t ha -1 + Vermicompost @ 1.25 t ha -1 whereas B:C ratio (2.43) was highest with FYM @ 5 t ha -1 +Neem green leaves @ 2 t ha -1 +Vermicompost @ 1.25 t ha -1 . Application of FYM @ 5 t ha -1 +Neem green leaves @ 2 t ha -1 +Vermicompost @ 1.25 t ha -1 led to increase grain yield by 94.84% significantly over control (19.0 q ha -1 ). Hence, the finding suggested that the integration of FYM @ 5 t ha -1 +Neem green leaves @ 2 t ha -1 +Vermicompost @ 1.25 t ha -1 increased yields of organic wheat in semi arid regions.

Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth, Yield, Nutrient Uptake and Fertility Balance in Soybean (Glycine max L.) – Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cropping Sequence

“…Since adequate supply of N promote the physiological process of growth and development of wheat crop and ultimately gave higher values of growth parameters (Table 4). These results have also reported by Thakur et al (2011), Usadadiya et al (2013), Nagar et al (2016), Vinay Singh (2016) and Parewa et al (2019).…”

“…Now a day's organic sources of nutrients are playing important role to enhance crop yields and meet global food demand (Timsina, 2018). The demand for food grains is expected to rise not only as a function of population growth but also as more and more people cross the poverty line with economic and social development (Parewa et al, 2019). The increase in grain yield of wheat due to balanced fertilization is attributed to improvement in growth and yield attributes, which in turn resulted in higher translocation of photosynthates and nutrients, ultimately reflected into higher grain and straw yield ((Das et al, 2015 andSingh, 2018).…”

Improved Nutrient Management Practices for Enhancing Productivity and Profitability of Wheat under Mid-Indo-Gangetic Plains of India

“…The higher yield attributes recorded in FYM treated plot might be due to the rapid mineralization of the manure. The results are in conformity with those of Agamy et al [42] and Parewa et al [52].…”

Effect of different nutrient management on yield and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

“…The indiscriminate and persistent utilization of fertilizers has had injurious effects on the attributes of the soil, including physical, chemical and biological aspects, reducing crop productivity while causing secondary and micronutrients deficiencies, especially zinc (Parewa et al, 2019) [20] , which is vital for maintaining the nutritional health of plants, animals and people, while over one-third of the global population might impose a zinc deficiency. Zinc has been found to be low in Indian soils and it participates in enzymatic and metabolic processes in crop systems.…”
