Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivium L.) is the most important stable food crops in the world. The present investigation was taken at Garaila, Jaunpur, (U.P.) to evaluate the effect of integrated use of organic and inorganic nitrogen with and without zinc sulphate on performance of wheat in alkali soil. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with 9 treatment and 4 replication, treatment consist of control (no fertilizer), NPK, Zinc and press mud. The result reveal that highest plant height of wheat at harvest (102.45 cm), number of tiller per meter at 90 DAT (157.19), number of spike per meter row (68.17), number of grain per spike (48.08), test weight (gm) (38.46), grain yield q/ha (44.31 ), straw yield q/ha (67.91) and harvest index (%) (39.488) was found from T8 [60 kg N (press mud) + 60 Kg nitrogen + Zinc] and closely followed by T9 [90 kg N (press mud) + 30 Kg N + zinc]. The organic press mud reported higher in most above parameter. 100 % nitrogen recorded significantly lower

Keywords

Sustainable, Organic, Performance, Fertilizer, Integrated and Parameter.

Conclusion

The investigation reveals that the integrated use of organic with fertilizer produce higher and sustainable yield of wheat.
