Abstract

Organic manures are traditionally used for plant nutrients. Major difficulty of organic manures is transportation and application. This study evaluated how organic manures and mineral fertilizers affect wheat grain and straw yields. Soil fertility maintenance requires a balanced application of inorganic and organic nutrient sources. Sustainable agricultural productivity might be achieved through a wise use of integrated nutrient management. Integrated use of chemical and organic fertilizer on yield and yield components of wheat is very crucial for assurance of food security. The experiment was conducted during 2018-20 to evaluate the effect of organic fertilizers and inorganic fertilizers (NPK Fertilizer) on plant height, number of tillers per plant, number of spikes per m2, number of spikes m2 and number of grains per m2, panicle weight, test weight, grain weight, straw yield and BC Ratio in wheat. The fertilizer treatments were T1: control T2: RDF (120:40:40 kg NPK ha-1); T3: 100% NPK through RDF + Bio fertilizer; T4: 75% RDF+ 25% NPK through organic sources (FYM); T5: FYM 5 t/ha + sheep manure 3 t/ha; T6: Incorporation of Kharif rice bran + 75% NPK through RDF; T7: Neem cake @ 120 kg ha-1 + Poultry manure 2 t ha-1. The maximum number of tillers (71), highest number of spikes per m2 (75.10), the maximum spike length (8.73 cm), the highest spikelet’s per spike, maximum weight of spike (5.46g), highest 1000 grain weight (56g) and highest grain yields were recorded in the T4: 75% RDF + 25% NPK through organic sources (FYM) (4.33 t/ha). The lowest yields were provided in the unfertilized control (2.36 t/ha). Combination of bio fertilizer is the best way to achieve high grain yield as well as BC Ratio. The impact of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on productivity of Wheat was investigated in sandy clay loam soils. The wheat plant height, number of tillers, spike length, straw yield, grain yield and 1000 grain weight all were statistically different from that of control. The findings of the trial suggested that crop productivity may be improved significantly by the combined application of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers.

Conclusion

Combination of bio fertilizer is the best way to achieve high grain yield as well as BC Ratio. The impact of organic manures and inorganic fertilizers on productivity of Wheat was investigated in sandy clay loam soils. The wheat plant height, number of tillers, spike length, straw yield, grain yield and 1000 grain weight all were statistically different from that of control.
