Effect of Inorganic Fertilizers, Organic Manure and Bioinoculant on Production and Economics of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

Field experiments were conducted to Studies effect integrated nutrient management on yield and economics of wheat during Rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at student’s instructional farm, Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture & Technology, Kanpur. The experiment consists of 10 treatments combinations in randomized block design with three replications consisted of three replications consisted of different combination of inorganic fertilizer, organic and biofertilizer .Wheat variety HD-2967 was grown with the recommended agronomic practices. On the basis of results emanated from investigation it can be concluded that among the productivity parameters viz. maximum grain yield was 53.79 and 54.21 q ha-1, straw yield was 80.76 and 81.35 q ha-1 and biological yield was 134.55 and 135.56 q ha-1 during the both years of experimentation are associated with the treatment T10 [100%NPK + FYM + S30+ Zn5 +Azotobacter + PSB]. Similarly straw yield during first year is 80.6 q ha-1 and second year is 81.35 q ha-1 was associated with the treatment T10 [100%NPK + FYM + S30+ Zn5 +Azotobacter + PSB]. Maximum gross return INR 158043 and INR 156367, net return INR 94499 and INR 97635 and benefit cost ratio (B:C ratio) 1.57 and 1.62 during the first year (2020-21) and second year (2021-22) of experimentation were recorded under treatment T10 [100%NPK + FYM + S30+ Zn5 +Azotobacter + PSB] similarly the maximum cost of cultivation during first year is INR 60192 and second year is INR 60408 were recorded under treatment T10 [100%NPK + FYM + S30+ Zn5 +Azotobacter + PSB].
