Title : Effect of emerging new generation fertilizers on yield attribute, yield and profitability of timely sown irrigated wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Abstract :

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2020-21 at Crop Research Centre Meerut, India. The experimental site was sandy clay loam in texture having soil pH 7.9, organic carbon 0.40%, and 216.0, 11.5, 250.0 kg/ha and 0.80 mg/kg available N, P2O5, K2O and Zn respectively. Novel nutrient sources with 12 treatments consisting of control, basal application of recommended 100% NPK (150:60:40) kg/ha, 75% NPK (112.5:45:30) kg/ha + NPK spray 18:18:18 (15 g/l) + NPK Consortia seed treatment (250 ml in 3 litre water 60/kg seed) + Bio-stimulant (625 ml/ha) + Nano N (4 ml/l) + Nano Zn (10 ml/l) in various combinations were attempted on wheat variety HD 2967 in RBD design with three replications. Treatment having 75% NPK + NPK Consortia + NPK spray + Bio-stimulant spray + Nano Zn spray was on par with 100% NPK with biostimulant/nano Zn and significant over RDF in yield and yield attribute. Respective net return 99.45 × 103 ₹ ha-1 Was also better with B:C ratio of 3.0 over RDF.
