Abstract
An experiment was conducted during 2020-21 at research farm of University Institute Of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University during the Rabi season on sandy loam soil to determine the “Effect of vermicompost and NPK on growth and productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)”.The experiment conists seven treatments (T1- 100% NPK+100% vermicompost, Treatment 2- 100% NPK + 50% vermicompost, Treatment 3- 75%NPK+ 100% vermicompost, Treatment 4-75%NPK + 50% vermicompost, Treatment 5-50%NPK + 100% vermicompost, Treatment 6- 50% NPK+ 50% vermicompost,T7-Control).Various forms of NPK and vermicompost fertilizer displayed profound consequences on growth characteristics and yield contribute features of wheat. The outcome displayed that application of NPK fertilizers along vermicompost gave optimum level of produce. It was found that number of tillers were influenced under different treatments of vermicompost and NPK. On the whole the results indicated that the improvement in growth, yield parameters and seed yield of wheat was observed with the application doses of 100% NPK + 100%VC. However, application of 100% NPK + 50% VC also showed remarkable progress in the growth and yield of the wheat. The growth and yield factors of the wheat obtained from the treated plots were quite better as compared to plots under control treatment. It is clearly visible from the results that the application of NPK along with vermicompost is to be the most vital agronomic practice for the optimum growth, development and productivity of the wheat crop.
