Abstract
The study was made on the topic entitled “Influence
of Organic and Inorganic Plant Nutrient Sources on Wheat (Triticum aestivum)”.
The complete study included as pot experiments conducted at the department of
Soil Science and Agricultural chemistry, Institute of Agricultural Sciences,
Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi.The main crop was wheat (HUW-533) grown in
sandy loam soil in two consecutive years. The experiment was laid out in
Completely Randomized Block Design with twelve treatments replicated three
times. The main idea was to assess the beneficial effect of organic sources of
nutrients on crop production when applied with inorganic fertilizers. The main
recommendation was 120 kg N, 60 kg P2O5 and 60 kg K2O
ha-1. These recommended doses were applied through chemical
fertilizers and also organics (FYM, press mud, carpet waste, digested sludge
and poultry manure) to add the amount equivalent to 10 kg N per hectare.
This all gave twelve treatments e.g. T1: (Control),
T2 : [Full dose of NPK (N: P2O5 :K2O)
120 : 60 : 60], T3 : [Full dose of NPK + 2 tonne ha-1
FYM (equivalent to 10 kg N)], T4 : [Full dose of NPK +85 kg CW ha-1(equivalent
to 10 kg N)], T5 :[Full dose of NPK + 1 tonne PM ha-1(equivalent
to 10 kg N)], T6 :[Full dose of NPK + 1 tonne DS ha-1
+equivalent to 10 kg N)], T7: [Full dose of NPK + 0.4
tonne PyM ha-1(equivalent to 10 kg N)], T8 : 120 kg N as
FYM (24 tonne ha-1 +PK), T9 : 120 kg N as CW ( 1 tonne ha-1
+ PK), T10 : 120 kg N as PM ( 12 tonne ha-1 +PK), T11
:120 kg N as DS ( 12 tonne ha-1 +PK) and T12 :120
kg N as PyM ( 5 tonne ha-1 +PK). N, P, K were applied through urea,
single super phosphate and muriate of potash respectively. Application
of N, P, K fallowed the recommended pattern. While the total amount of organics
were applied 14 days before sowing of the wheat crop. The response of wheat
crop to the various treatments was measured in terms of quantitative
expression. The quantitative indices included observations on number of tillers
(pot-1), plant height (cm.), grain and straw yield (g pot-1).
Application of recommended doses of fertilizers along with 10 kg N ha-1 through
various organic sources (T3 to T7) brought about maximum
improvement in the different growth attributes such as total tillers and plant
height in comparison to other alone sources of N carriers. These attributes
were also observed to increase significantly (pooled data) over control (T1)
except in T8 and T11, among which the combination of
three organics [(T4-RDF +10 kg N through C.W), (T3-RDF +
10 kg N through FYM) and d (T7 – RDF + 10 kg N through PyM)] proved
to be superior. Among the all treated condition the values were found at par
with each other in the treatment of T3 to T7 and T8 to
T12. Application of N through different sources in the different
treatments brought about significant improvement in grain and straw yield of
wheat crop over the control (T1) and integrated use (T3
toT7 ) established superiority over rest of the treatments. Among
organic N sources application of N through carpet waste (T9)
increased the grain and straw yield as against rest of the organic N sources
and the control (T1 - lowest yield). Pooled grain and straw yield
were showed at par in the treatments of T3 to T7; T2
and T8 to T12.
