Abstract

To study the “Effect of nano fertilizers on growth and quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), a field experiment was carried out at Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Jodhpur during two consecutive rabi seasons of 2021-22 & 2022-23. The field experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with fourteen treatments replicated thrice. Results showed that the application of 100% RDF + ST with nano DAP and two foliar spray of nano urea at 35 & 55 DAS was recorded highest amount of dry matter accumulation (g/m2) and CGR (g/m2/day) at different crop growth stages which was found statistically at par with treatments of100% RDF + 2 FS of nano urea at 35 and 55 DAS, 100% RDF + FS of nano DAP at 35 DAS, 75% RDF + ST with nano DAP and 2 foliar spray of nano urea at 35 & 55 DAS. Application of 100% RDF + ST with nano DAP and two foliar spray of nano urea at 35 & 55 DAS was also recorded highest amount of grain yield which was found statistically at par with treatments of100% RDF + 2 FS of nano urea at 35 and 55 DAS, 100% RDF + FS of nano DAP at 35 DAS, 75% RDF + ST with nano DAP and 2 foliar spray of nano urea at 35 & 55 DAS respectively on pooled basis

Keywords

Foliar spray, CGR, Dry matter accumulation, Seed treatment and Wheat

Conclusion

On the basis of two years experimentation, it can be concluded that wheat crop can be fertilized with 100% RDF (90 kg N/ha, 40 kg P2O5 and 20 kg K2O/ha) along with seed treatment with nano DAP @ 5 ml/kg of seed and two foliar spray of nano urea @ 4 ml/L of water at 35 & 55 DAS for higher production from crop. This treatment combination recorded highest amount of dry matter, crop growth rate, grain yield and crude protein content
