Effect of nutrient management through organic sources on yield and economics of Black Wheat

Abstract

The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with 11 treatments replicated thrice viz. T0 (control 100:50:30 NPK kg/ha-1), T1 (50%+50% through FYM & VC kg/ha-1), T2 (50%+ 50% through FYM & PM kg/ha-1), T3 (50%+50% through VC & PM kg/ha-1), T4 (75%+ 25% through FYM & VC kg/ha-1), T5 (75%+ 25% through FYM & PM kg/ha-1), T6 (75%+ 25% through VC & PM kg/ha-1), T7 (25%+ 75% through FYM & VC kg/ha-1), T8 (25%+ 75% through FYM & PM kg/ha-1), T9 (25%+ 75% through VC & PM kg/ha-1), T10 (33.33%+33.33%+33.33% through FYM, VC and PM respectively kg/ha-1). A experiment were investigated during winter season 2020-21 at Organic Research Farm Karguan ji, Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Bundelkhand University, Jhansi, with aim to study the effect of different integration of organic sources viz. farm yard manure (FYM), vermicompost (VC) and Poultry manure (PM) on various physiological traits, yield attributes and economics of black wheat. The results interoperated that different genotypes influenced significantly the yield parameters and economics of black wheat among the genotype T9 (25%+ 75% through VC & PM) recorded significantly higher values of yield parameters like grain yield (45.69q), straw yield (72.69q), biological yield (118.3q) and 1000 seed weight (45g) of black wheat crop. The cost of cultivation was recorded highest in treatment T6 involving 75% nutrient applied through vermicompost (VC) and 25% applied through poultry manure (PM).
