Abstract

Population relief demanded a rethink of agricultural production practises due to the rising need for food and nutritional security. Increasing cost of fertilizers and declining soil health resulted the lower nutrient use efficiency and crop output. As a result, to reduce the uses of chemical fertilizer, and boosting wheat production and nutrient use efficiency, this research study was conducted at NEB Crop Research Centre, G.B.P.U.A. &T, Pantnagar, India. The experiment used a FRBD design with 6 nutrient management options (100 percent RDF (150:60:40 NPK kg/ha), 75 percent RDF, 75 percent RDF + Vermicompost, 75 percent RDF + Vermicompost + PSB, 75 percent RDF + Poultry manure, and 75 percent RDF + Poultry manure + PSB), 75 percent RDF + Poultry manure, and 75 percent RDF + Poultry manure + PSB. According to research findings, the treatment combination of 75 percent RDF + Vermicompost/ Poultry manure + PSB is equally effective. It might be due to enhanced nutrient uptake and wheat produ

Conclusion

Based on the findings, it can be concluded that rhizospheric management using fertiliser placement methods and nutrient management was effective in reducing fertiliser application. Deep placement and 75 percent RDF (112.5:60:40 NPK Kg/ha) + Vermicompost/ poultry manure (2q/ha) + PSB (10 kg/ha) proved effective for improving wheat nutrient use efficiency under rhizospheric management. It could be because of improved nutrient availability and a more favourable soil environment created by the combination of inorganic fertilisers and organic manures. The reduction of chemical fertilizers help us to motivates toward uplifting farmers income, improved nutritional food security and soil fertility due to reduction of cost of production and use of organic manures.
