Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during rabi 2022-23 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P) to determine the “Effect of Nitrogen management on growth and yield of wheat”. There were nine treatments each replicated thrice and the experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design. The results showed that treatment 6 (75% N through urea + 25 % N through poultry manure) recorded significantly higher plant height (119.20 cm), maximum number of tillers/ m2 (214), higher plant dry weight (64.34 g), highest Crop growth rate during the interval of 50-75 DAS (35.73 g/m2/day), maximum number of effective tillers/ m2 (144.5), maximum number of grains/ spike (53.33) and highertest weight (97.71 g) compared to other treatments.

Keywords: Wheat, urea, vermicompost, poultry manure, growth and yield attributes
