Effect of nitrogen levels and cultivars on yield, nutrient uptake and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under late sown condition
Author(s): Jitender Kumar, OP Rai and Mohammad Hasanain
Abstract: A field experiment was carried out at Agronomy Research Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Narendra Nagar (Kumarganj), Faizabad (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2015-16 to study the response of late sown wheat varieties to various doses of nitrogen application. Eighteen treatments consisted of six doses of nitrogen (0, 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 kg ha-1) and three varieties of wheat (Unnat Halna, HUW-234, and NW-1014). The grain yield, protein content in grain, nitrogen content and uptake in grain and straw, were increased significantly with 120 kg N ha-1 and among the varieties NW-1014 being at par with variety HUW-234 recoded significantly higher values of above characters over Unnat Halna. The maximum net return (₹50281 ha-1) and B:C ratio (1.46) were obtained at 120 kg ha-1.Thus application of 120 kg N ha-1 along with variety NW-1014 was found most suitable for cultivation under late sown condition for Eastern Plain zone.
