Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research Farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh) during Rabi season (2019-20) to find out the effect of nutrient management and weed control practices on growth and yield of wheat crop and nutrient uptake by crop and economic feasibility of different treatments in wheat crop. All the growth parameters and yield contributing characters and yield viz. plant height, number of tillers, dry matter accumulation, LAI, as well as grain and straw yield were significantly higher with the application of 75% RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM and Sulfosulfuron+ Metsulfuron@ 30+2 g a.i. ha^-1 was comparable with two hand weeding and significantly higher than the other treatments. With respect to economics, 75% RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM with the spraying of Sulfosulfuron+ Metsulfuron@ 30+2 g a.i. ha^-1, recorded maximum net return (Rs. 108865.08) and B:C ratio (2.92). It can be concluded that application of 75% RDF + 10 t ha^-1 FYM with the spraying of Sulfosulfuron+ Metsulfuron@ 30+2 g a.i. ha^-1 proved better for achieve higher yield and remuneration of wheat crop.
