 ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season of 2018-2019 at the farm of Gurukul, Kurukshetra, research site of CCS Haryana agricultural university, Haryana, India. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications to evaluate the effect of different organic and inorganic sources of nutrients on    wheat growth. The eight treatments were evaluated in RBD design viz., T1: Farm Yard Manure @ 15 t/ha, T2: Vermicompost @ 7.5 t/ha, T3: Jivamrit soil application thrice @ 500 litres/ha, T4: Jivamrit soil application twice @ 500 litres/ha + Jivamrit spray twice, T5: T4+ Ghanjivamrit ground casting twice, T6: T5+ Sapt Dhanya Ankur Ark spray, T7: Recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF), T8: Control. The results showed that highest growth parameters were recorded in T7 at all the stages of crop. Among organic sources of nutrients T2 recorded highest plant height (97 cm), maximum number of tillers/m2 (346), highest leaf area index (3.5), highest dry matter accumulation (675 g/m2) followed by T1 and other cow based nutrient sources. Highest grain yield and straw yield was obtained under RDF application in T7 followed by T2, T1 and other cow based nutrient sources. From the present investigation, it can be inferred that combined use of organic and inorganic sources of nutrition gave the optimum productivity and organic nutrient sources can be a good alternative or supplement of synthetic fertilizer to produce optimum growth and yield for sustainable agriculture.
