Effect of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)


Author(s): Gyanendra Shende, M Devender Reddy, Girish Pandey and Anuj Kumar Singh

Abstract: An experiment to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen and phosphorus on performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) was conducted at ITM University, Gwalior during Rabi season 2015 -2016.The combination of three nitrogen levels (50, 100 and 150kg ha-1) and three levels of phosphorus (40, 60 and 80 kg ha-1) were tested in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Significant improvement in plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves and yield attributes were recorded with increase in N application from 50 to 100 and 150 kg ha-1. Increase in levels of Phosphorus from 40 to 60 and 80 kg ha -1 has increased the leaf number per culm, tiller number, number of ear head m-2, spike length, grain number, grain, straw and biological yield. The maximum grain, straw and biological yield was recorded with the application of 150kg N ha-1 80 kg P2O5 ha-1 which was followed by 150 kg N ha-1 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 while, the minimum yield was observed in 50 kg Nha-1 40 kg P2O5 ha-1.
