Effect of different organic manures on growth and economics of late sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract

The field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019 at SMOF (SHIATS Model Organic Farm). Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments replicated thrice. The treatment with 50% Sheep manure at basal and 50% Poultry manure at top dressing at 30 DAS recorded significantly higher in Plant height (75.66 cm), Number of tillers (6.70), Plant dry weight (11.00 g/plot). Recorded statistically on par with basal application of 50% FYM and 50 top dressing of Poultry manure at 30 DAS compared to other treatments. The treatment application with 50% FYM at basal and 50% of Poultry manure at top dressing at 30 DAS recorded significantly higher in gross return (Rs. 84385.0/ha), net return (Rs.59396.0/ha), and B:C ratio (1.67) with Sheep manure 50% at basal application and 50% Poultry manure at top dressing at 30 DAS.
