Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted to study the scope of customized fertilizer for increasing the productivity of wheat system in U.P. during Rabi season of the year 2016-17 at Farmer field in the village of Pero Saraiya (Dehli Bazar) in the District of Sultanpur. The experiment was comprised with six treatments viz. T₁-Control (No fertilizer), T₂-Recommended dose of Fertilizer (N:P:K 150:60:60) kgha^-1, T₃- Soil test based recommendation (N,P,K,S,Zn,B) (120:60:30:30:5:2 Kgha^-1) T₄ - Indo Gulf–Customized Fertilizer- Vardan @250 kgha^-1 (N-12%, P₂O₅- 26%, K₂O-18%, S-5%, Zn-0.5%)+Urea @250 kgha^-1 as split doses T₅-TCL-Customized Fertilizer-Paras @250 kgha^-1 (N-10%, P2O5- 18%, K₂O-18%, B-0.3%, Zn-1%)+ Urea @250 kgha^-1 as a split doses. T₆-Farmer’s Practice (N: P: K 100:40:0 Kgha^-1). The results revealed use of Soil test based recommendation (T₃) registered maximum Plant height, No. of tillers per meter row, No. of effective tillers, Spike length, No. of grains per spike, 1000-grain test weight, grain and straw yield, benefit cost ratio, net returns followed by application of T₄-Indo Gulf Customized Fertilizer.
