Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2020-2021 at Experimental farm of University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the effect of integrated nutrient management on productivity of wheat. The experiment consisted of 7 treatments comprising of different nutrient management practices i.e. RDF (100%), FYM @4 t ha-1, FYM @2 t ha-1 + 50% RDF, FYM @1 t ha-1 + 25% RDF, VC @ 1.4 t ha-1, VC @0.7 t ha-1 + 50% RDF and VC @0.35 t ha-1 + 25% RDF. The experimental design was conducted in RBD (Randomized block design) with three replications. Results revealed that yield attributes, grain yield and straw yield of wheat was significantly influenced by the application of RDF (100%). The yield attributes and yield of the crop was highest with the application of RDF (100%). However, grain yield was statistically at par with VC @0.7 t ha-1 + 50% RDF as compared to other treatments. The grain yield was 35.91% more in RDF (100%) than that of FYM @4 t ha-1. Maximum cost of cultivation was recorded under FYM @2 t ha-1 + 50% RDF. RDF (100%) gave significantly higher net returns per rupee invested as compared to FYM @4 t ha-1. However, it was also statistically at par with VC @0.35 t ha-1 + 25% RDF.
