Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019 at Crop Research Center of Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the Influence of different sources of nitrogen and time of application on growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum). There was total six treatments comprising of wheat with treatment details M1: Vermicompost + FYM, M2: FYM + Vermicompost + Urea, S1: control, S2: 50% N as basal through VC, 25% at CRI and 25% at booting stage through urea, S350% N as basal through FYM, 25% at tillering and 25% at booting stage through Urea, S4: 50% N as basal through VC+FYM (1:1), 25% at tillering and 20% at booting stage and 5% N as foliar spray at pre flowering stage through urea. The experiment was laid down in split plot design with three replications with source of nutrient as main plots and time of application as sub plot treatments. Growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yields of wheat were more in case of time of nitrogen was in 50% N as basal through VC+FYM (1:1), 25% at tillering and 20% at booting stage and 5% N as foliar spray at pre flowering stage through urea(S4). Among sources of nitrogen, M2: FYM + Vermicompost+ Urea gave the best results. Highest available nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium was in treatment 50% N as basal through VC+FYM (1:1), 25% at tillering and 20% at booting stage and 5% N as foliar spray at pre flowering stage through urea(S4) was recorded whereas, sources combination M2 (FYM + vermicompost+ Urea) recorded highest N kg/ha, P, K. Highest net returns ₹ 24650 and net returns per rupee invested of ₹ 1.38 was recorded in treatment S4 followed by treatment M2.
