Mukesh Sharma, Sanjay Kumar and Ayush Kumar Shah

Abstract

An experiment on “Response of Integrated Nutrient Management on Nutrient Uptake, Growth and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)’’ was carried out during rabi season of 2025-26 at the Crop Research Station, Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Ayodhya (U.P.) India. The experiment consists of ten treatments were laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. The treatments were -Control (T1), 100% RDF (150:60:40 NPK Kg/ha) (T2), 100% RDF + FYM @5 t ha-1 (T3), 100% RDF + NPK Consortia @4 L ha-1 at 21 DAS (T4), 100% RDF + NPK Consortia through seed treatment with @ 4 ml kg-1 Seed (T5), 100% RDF + Humic acid @ 10 Kg ha-1+Sagarika @ 0.25% at DAS (T6), 75% RDF + FYM @5 t/ha (T7), 75% RDF + NPK Consortia @4 L ha-1 at 21 DAS (T8), 75% RDF + NPK Consortia through seed treatment with @ 4 ml kg-1 seed (T9), and 75% RDF + Humic acid @10 Kg ha-1 + Sagarika @ 0.25% at 21 DAS (T10). As per experiment the results revealed that the treatment (T6) produced higher grain and straw yield (54.34 and 73.90 q ha-1) than the other treatments. The maximum yield attributes parameters viz. spike length (12.17 cm), number of grain spike-1 (54.67), dry matter accumulation (1166.46) were observed with the application of 100% RDF + Humic acid @10 Kg ha-1 + Sagarika @0.25% at 21 DAS which was significantly higher over control (T1) treatments. Maximum values of all the attributes were observed with 100% RDF + Humic acid @10 Kg ha-1 + Sagarika @0.25% at 21 DAS which was significantly superior to the rest of the all treatments.
