Response of Integrated Nutrient on Soil Health (Physico-Chemical Properties) and Yield of Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.) Cv. PBW-343

A field experiment was conducted during rabi season 2016-2017 to study the “Response of Integrated Nutrient on Soil Health (Physico-chemical properties) and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Cv. PBW 343� at the Research Farm of Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, Naini Agricultural Institute, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Allahabad U.P. During the experimentation, growth and yield characters were recorded. Comparative study revealed that The treatment (T11) comprising of 100% RDF N, P & K + FYM + Zn was found most effective for best growth of Wheat crop under Allahabad region of Uttar Pradesh State, India, giving grain yield of 50.93 q ha-1 comparing to the grain yield of T0 which was 40.51 q ha-1 .The treatment T11 gave the best result with respect to plant height (86.43 cm), number of tillers per plant (7.33) at 90 DAS, number of grains per spike (61.42) and test weight (44.76 g ). The result revealed that a significant improvement in soil properties and soil fertility was found under treatment (T11). Organic carbon improved from 0.42% to 0.67%, Bulk density reduced from 1.34 g cm-3 to 1.28 g cm-3, particle density increased from 2.58 g cm-3 to 2.88 g cm-3 , water holding capacity improved from 54.72% to 60.23% and pore space increased from 46.86% to 52.86 %, available N, P & K (285.30, 29.54 and 324.77 kg ha-1) were statistically different from that of initial status (242.29, 19.18, 276.36 kg ha-1) . Soil pH and EC were also improved 7.74 and 0.43 dsm-1 respectively .The lowest values related to all parameters were obtained in the control treatment except for bulk density and soil pH. The findings of the trial suggested that crop yield and soil properties may be improved significantly by application of organic with inorganic fertilizers.
