To evaluate the effect of INM on content and uptake of nutrients on wheat

Abstract

The present investigation were conducted for two rabi seasons during 2014-15 in the field of Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry, CSAUAT, Kanpur U. P. to evaluate the effect of INM on content and uptake of nutrients of wheat Effect of integrated nutrient management on nutrient content in grain and straw presented in contents of N, P, K, S and Zn increased significantly in all the treatments in comparison to control. The highest concentration of N, P, K, S and Zn in grain and straw was noted with T7 (100% RDF+ 25% N, Vermicompost + 30 kg S ha-1 + 5 kg Zn ha-1) followed by T5 (100% RDF + 25% N, FYM + 30 kg S ha-1 + 5 kg Zn ha-1) and minimum at control. Integration of FYM, S, Zn and Vermicompost also influences N, P, K, S and Zn contents in grain and straw. It was also observed that integration of S and Zn showed higher concentration of N, P, K, S and Zn with 100% RDF treatments in comparison to 75% RDF treatments.
