Aims: To enhance soil quality, production, productivity and profit maximization with higher economic returns through integrated farming practices. In addition, to fulfill the needs of farmers economical point of view, academic, society and social reforms. Study Design: Effectiveness of organics with nitrogen levels and bio-fertilizers on soil chemico-biological properties of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop [Cv.PBW-343] in Inseptisol. Place and Duration of Study: The cumulative study period of 2018-19 and 2019-20, at research farm, department of soil science and agricultural chemistry, naini agricultural institute, sam higginbottom university of agriculture, technology and sciences, which is located at 25°58’ North latitude and 81°52' East longitude with an altitude of 98 meter above mean sea level and is situated 5km away on the right, bank of Yamuna river. Methodology: Randomized block design fallowed here with 12 treatment combinations replicated 3 times. Recommended dose of fertilizers i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, was applied @ 120:60:40 kg ha-1 as urea (46% N), single super phosphate (16% P2O5), muriate of potash (60% K2O) and zinc sulphate (21% Zn). The Azotobactor spp. and Azospirilium spp. (seed inoculants), applied at 3 kg ha-1 with farm yard manure @ 5 tha-1, at 5 cm depth in furrows, before seed sowing was done on 13th and 14th of November (2018-2019) with spacing of 22.5 X 5 cm. Wheat cultivar used here is PBW-343 as a test crop. Results: The cumulative mean of low soil pH (6.82), electrical conductivity (0.37 dS m-1) and free lime content (13.55%), the higher cation exchange capacity (16.37 cmol (p+) kg-1), higher available nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium and available sulphur of 262.12: 21.75:220.51:32.57 kg ha-1, respectively, high available iron and zinc (i.e. 3.90 and 1.79 mg kg-1), low available manganese and copper (3.77 and 0.31 mg kg-1), further the cumulative mean of dehydrogenase enzyme activity (1.49 µg triphenyl-formazan g-1 day-1), alkaline phosphatase activity (186.35 µg para-nitrophenol g-1 hr-1) and microbial biomass carbon (37.59 g kg-1) was labelled in treatment (T9) consisting of 75% N + farm yard manure @ 5 t ha-1 + Azotobacter spp + Azospirillum spp (3 kg ha-1) + zinc in comparison to in-organic application over control. Conclusion: The combined application of farm yard manure, Azotobacter spp and Azospirilium spp along with in-organics, has led to improvement in soil health potential, nutrient availability and yield sustenance under wheat crop cultivation.
The influence of combined application of farm yard manure @ 5 tha -1 and or integrated use of different nitrogen levels with seed inoculation of bio-fertilizers was resulted positive effect, under the topic entitled "Influence of integrated nutrients on growth and yield attributes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) crop in Inseptisol" during cumulative study period of 2018-19 and 2019-20, at research farm, department of soil science and agricultural chemistry, Sam Higginbottom university of agriculture, technology and sciences, which is located at 25 0 58" N latitude and 81 0 52" E longitude with an altitude of 98 meter above mean sea level and is situated 5km away on the right bank of Yamuna river, Prayagraj District of Uttar Pradesh. Among twelve treatments, during field experimentation, the conjunctive use of farm yard manure, seed inoculation with Azatobacter spp and Azospirillum spp and different nitrogen levels, together come with best results significantly. However, the growth factors including pre-harvest parameters (like plant height, number of green leaves plant -1 , number of tillers plant -1 , dry weight plant -1 which was observed at 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after sowing, opined significantly highest in treatment (T 9 ) registering 75% nitrogen + farm yard manure @ 5 t ha -1 + Azotobactor spp + Azospirillum spp (3kg ha -1 ) + Zn (ZnSO 4 @ 25 kg ha -1 ), which in turn ultimately gave the highest cumulative mean of economic productivity (62.79 q ha -1 ), straw yield (93.52 q ha -1 ), biological yield (156.22qha -1 ), percent harvest index (40.13%),in comparison with chemical treatment (T 3 ) alone over control (T 1 ). Thus, integrated nutrient management pronounced its importance in the field of agriculture through supreme yield potential, diminishing the production cost and raising up soil health could be achieved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
