EFFECT OF INTEGRATED NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT ON GROWTH AND YIELD OF WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM L.) IN HAPLUSTEPTS

A field experiment was conducted at Agronomy Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, Udaipur during rabi season in 2013-14 and 2014-15. The results of the study showed that application of poultry manure @ 5 t ha-1 significantly increase the plant height (7.26, 38.54, 86.40 and 88.60 cm) dry matter accumulation (12.17, 54.86,143.22 and 196.84 g) at all stages of growth (30, 60, 90 and at harvest) ,Yield attributes (Effective tillers m-1 row length (107.25), number of grains ear-1 (42.40) and test weight (43.42 g)) and yield (grain (5.04 t ha-1), straw (9.69 t ha-1) and biological (14.73 t ha-1)). Further results showed that the enrichment of soil with 75 per cent RDF significantly increased the plant height (7.34, 38.37, 84.76 and 86.15 cm), dry matter accumulation (11.32, 53.03, 138.55 and 189.45 g), yield attributes (effective tillers m-1row length (102.81), number of grains ear-1 (40.96) and test weight (42.66)) and (grain (4.84 t ha-1), straw (9.24 t ha-1) and biological (14.07)) yield over 50 per cent RDF and statistically at par with 100 per cent RDF and inoculations of seed with Azotobacter + PSB significantly increased the plant height (7.31, 38.67, 86.24 and 88.04 cm), dry matter accumulation (12.45, 53.93, 141.32 and 194.38 g), yield attributes (effective tillers m-1 row length (105.43), number of grains ear-1 (42.95) and test weight (43.12 g)) and (grain (5.01 t ha-1), straw (9.65 t ha-1) and biological (14.67 t ha-1)) yield of wheat crop. So results showed that 5 t ha-1 poultry manure + 75% NPK + dual inoculation of Azotobacter + PSB were gave significant yield over other treatments. There by a saving of 25% of nutrients
