Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2020-21 at Experimental farm of University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the effect of effect of nitrogen scheduling and crop residue management on yield contributing characters and yield of wheat. The experiment consisted of seven treatments comprising of nitrogen levels and crop residue i.e. RDF (120% N + 100% P) + crop residue, 25% N + 100% P + crop residue, 50% N + 100% P + crop residue, 75% N + 100% P + crop residue, 125% N + 100% P + crop residue and 150% N + 100% P + crop residue and 0% N + 100% P + crop residue were tested in Randomized block design, replicated 3 times. Results revealed that yield attributes, grain yield and straw yield of wheat were increased with increasing nitrogen rate. Application of 150% N + 100% P + crop residue being statistically at par with 125% N +100% P + crop residue recorded maximum yield attributes, grain yield and straw yield of wheat over 0% N + crop residue. Nitrogen application of 150 kg ha-1 + crop residue recorded higher net returns (Rs 76993) and net returns per rupee invested (1.55) but remained statistically at par with 125% N + 100% P and RDF + crop residue.
