In order to assess the nutrient requirement of wheat after grain maize was conducted at Agricultural Research Station, Niphad, Dist. Nashik, Maharashtra during 2014-15 to 2016-17. During kharif season, maize (cv. Rajeshree) for grain purpose was sown by applying of recommended dose of fertilizers (120:60:40 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha -1 ). In rabi season wheat crop was sown with five treatments viz. absolute control, recommended dose of fertilizers (120:60:40 N:P2O5:K2O kg ha -1 + FYM 10 t ha -1 ), fertilizer application as per soil test basis, 125 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers and 150 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers. The pooled results of three years experiment revealed that application of 150 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers to wheat crop produced significantly higher grain (40.28 q ha -1 ) and straw (55.50 q ha -1 ) yields over absolute control. It was at par with the treatment application of 125 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers (38.27 q ha -1 ) and fertilizer application as per soil test basis (37.44 q ha -1 ). The soil available major nutrients viz. nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, after harvest of wheat, were observed higher in the treatment of 150 per cent of recommended dose of fertilizers compared to initial status of the soil.
