Abstract:
A field experiment was conducted at the AICRP on Integrated Farming System Field, Department of Soil Science and Agriculture Chemistry, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani during rabi season 2019-20 to impact of different nutrient sources on yield, nutrient uptake and quality of wheat. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with seven treatments and three replications. The applied different level different response showed. The highest plant height and spike length observed (78.20 cm and 8.87 cm respectively) in the treatment T₂-100% RDF through chemical fertilizers. The highest grain yield, straw yield, test weight and protein content recorded (2496.24 kg ha^-1, 4375.47 kg ha^-1, 44.60 g and 13.14% respectively) in the treatment T₆- 25% RDF through chemical fertilizer + 100% RDF through organic manures, over the 100% RDF through chemical fertilizers. However maximum nitrogen uptake by grain and straw (56.66 kg ha^-1and 24.37 kg ha^-1), phosphorous uptake by grain and straw (31.67 kg ha^-1and 11.79 kg ha^-1) and potassium uptake by grain and straw (12.82 kg ha^-1and 30.86 kg ha^-1 respectively) in the treatment T₆-25% RDF through chemical fertilizer + 100% RDF through organic manures. Further, the combined use of organic and inorganic nutrient sources gave highest availability of nutrient compared to other treatments. Thus organic and inorganic nutrient sources improved yields, quality of grain as well as improved soil health.
