Effect of Integrated use of Vermicompost, FYM and Chemical Fertilizers on Soil Properties and Productivity of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Alluvial Soil

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season (2020-21), at the research farm of Kulbhaskar Ashram Post Graduate College, Prayagraj UP, to the effect of Integrated use of Vermicompost, FYM and Chemical Fertilizers on Soil properties and Productivity of wheat in Alluvial soil. The experiment consisted of eight treatment combinations viz., T1 - Absolute control, T2 - (25% RDF +75% N through FYM), T3 - (50% RDF +50% N through FYM), T4 - (75% RDF +25% N through FYM), T5 - (25% RDF +75% N through Vermicompost), T6 - (50% RDF +50% N through Vermicompost), T7 - (75% RDF +25% N through Vermicompost), T8 - (50% FYM +50% N through Vermicompost), with three replications in Randomized Block Design (RBD), The results of experiment showed higher grain and straw yield obtained through with the application of (50% RDF +50% N through vermicompost), The maximum plant height, number of grains per spike, test weight and protein content were recorded in treatment T6 (50% RDF +50% N through Vermicompost), The data revealed that the maximum harvest index (42.97%), was observed in treatment T7 (75% RDF +25% N through Vermicompost), The soil properties in respect of pH, ECe, organic carbon and available N, P & K were noticed with the treatment T6 (50% RDF +50% N through Vermicompost).
