Studies about the soil conditioners on production of wheat (Triticum astivum L.) under different levels of fertilizer

Abstract

The investigation was conducted during Rabi season of 2003 and 2004 at Research Farm of Shri Durga Ji Post graduate College, Chandeshwar, Azamgarh (UP) with a view to find out the effect of gypsum and FYM under different levels of fertilizer on wheat. Findings reveals that grain yield attributes were significantly higher with FYM application @ 5 t/ha. It enhanced the grain yield to the tune of 2.78, 4.21, 2.74 and 4.01 q/ha and straw yield 2.16, 2.93, 3.71 and 4.52 q ha over control, respectively in respective years. Application of 125%RDF statistically at par to 100% RDF and significantly high over 75% and 50% RDF. The margin in yield of 7.66%, 7.14%, 18.7%, 16.7% and straw yield 5.74%, 5.24%, 12.95% and 11.14% over 75% and 50% of the recommended doses of fertilizer in both year, respectively.
