Effect Of Integrated Nutrient Management On Yield Of Wheat(Triticum aestivum L.) FOR GIRD ZONE OF M.P.

Abstract

The demonstrate On Farm Trail was conducted through Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Lahar, during Rabi season of 2016 and 2017 were conducted on 4.0 ha at 10 farmer’s field in , Block – Lahar, Distt – Bhind (M.P.) in sandy loam soils having following physical properties varies from pH 7.4 – 7.6, electrical conductivity 2.63 - 2.65 dSm/cc, organic carbon 0.44 - 0.56%, available N 135-145 kg ha-1, available P2O5 17-21 kg ha-1and available K2O 212-225 kg ha-1. The rainfall received during cropping season (June to October) was 970 mm distributed in 150 days. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The results of the experiment indicated that combined application of inorganic fertilizer at higher/lower dose along with FYM, bio-fertilizer and sulphur gave significantly spikes per meter row length, spike length, number of grains per spike and yield. The treatment T3 gave an extra net profit of 17906 per hectare over the treatment T1 120:60:00 NPK kg/ha which was 44.29 per cent higher. Followed by The treatments T2 gave an extra net profit Rs. 8557 per hectare which was 21.16 % higher.. This is indicated that integrated use of FYM, biofertilizers and sulphur along with chemical fertilizer more beneficial under gird zone of M.P. with respect to agro climatic conditions to net profit and net return. Higher net return per hectare with T2 and T3 treatments might be due to higher grain and straw yield received in these treatments. In the respect of benefit:cost ratio, the highest value (2.79) was recorded with the treatment T3 150:75:00 NPK kg/ha\ which was Note : Selling price (`/kg) : Grain: 18.00, Straw: 1.50 followed by the treatment T1 [120:60:00 NPK kg/ha] with BCR value of 2.71. Similar trend was also observed by Rashid, et al., 2008, Singh, et al., 2008, Pandey, et al., 2009 and Sepat, et al., 2018.
