Abstract

The assumption underlying this study has been that application of microbial inoculants and vermicompost can help to meet requirement of plant nutrients. This experiment was validating in field experiment carried out on clay loam soil in Rabi seasons on same site during 2017-18 and 2018-19 at the Agronomy Farm of RCA, Udaipur, Rajasthan. Two factors were included in this experiment i.e. five levels of microbial inoculants and four levels of vermicompost. In this study nutrient content in grain and straw of wheat were evaluated. The results show that highest nutrients (N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) content in grain and straw of wheat were recorded with Azotobacter +PSB + KMB + ZnSB. The application of treatment Azotobacter + PSB + KMB + ZnSB produced the highest net returns 62362.6 ` ha-1 and 72695.5 ` ha-1 of wheat. In case of vermicompost, nutrients contents (N, P, K, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu) in grain and straw of wheat were significantly higher under the treatment receiving 50% VC at sowing

Keywords

Microbial inoculants, PSB, vermicompost, wheat, yield.

Conclusion

It may be concluded that application of microbial inoculants Azotobacter + PSB + KMB + ZnSB along with vermicompost as 50 % at sowing + 50 % at tillering find out significance on nutrient content and economics of wheat. From the current study it was obtained that microbial inoculants (Azotobacter+PSB+KMB+ZnSB) + two split dose of vermicompost (50 % at sowing+50% at tillering) give the best result.
