Abstract: The field experiment was carried out at Coastal soil salinity research station, Navsari Agricultural University, Danti during rabi seasons of 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the effect of different levels of fertilizer on yield and nutrient uptake of wheat under partially reclaimed coastal salt affected soil of South Gujarat. The result revealed that higher level of fertilizer i.e. 120% RDF treatment (F3) significantly influenced the yield attributes like effective tillers, spike length, spikelets spike-1 grains spike-1 etc., and yield of wheat, also significantly influenced the nutrients uptake i.e. nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium after harvest of crop. The 120% RDF (216-108-00 kg NPK ha-1) treatment registered significantly the highest grain yield were 4292 and 3499 kg ha-1 and straw yield were 5803 and 4843 kg ha-1 during 2016-17 and 2017-18 respectively. The lowest grain (4292 and 3499 kg ha-1), straw yield (5803 and 4843 kg ha-1) and nutrient uptake were observed under lower dose of fertilizer i.e. 80% RDF treatment (F1).Significantly the highest uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus and higher uptake of potassium were observed in 120% RDF treatment (F3) during both the years of experimentation.
