Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2019 at Crop Research Center of Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the effect of irrigation scheduling and organic source of nutrient on the growth, yield and quality of wheat. The amount of organic sources applied to crop was 15.25 t/ha of vermicompost and 3.75 t/ha of FYM. There were total six treatments comprising of wheat with treatment details were M1: Vermicompost @ 7.5 t/ha, M2: FYM @12.5 t/ha + Vermicompost @ 3.75 t/ha, S1: control, S2: 20-21 DAS irrigation, S3: 20-21 + 50-55 DAS irrigation, S4: 20-21 + 50-55 + 75-80 DAS irrigation. The experiment was laid down in split plot design with three replications with organic source of nutrient as main plots and irrigation scheduling as sub plot treatments. Growth, yield attributes, grain and straw yields of wheat were more in case of treatment of irrigation scheduling was (20-21 + 50-55 + 75-80 DAS). And among different organic nutrient sources, FYM + Vermicompost gave the best results. Highest nitrogen (123 kg/ha), available phosphorus (15.9 kg/ha), and available potassium (249.4 kg/ha) was recorded in irrigation scheduling treatment (20-21 + 50-55 + 75-80 DAS) whereas, the application of nutrient sources, (FYM + vermicompost) recorded highest N (118 kg/ha), P (14.8 kg/ha), K (246.6 kg/ha) at all recorded observations. Highest net returns ₹ 21886 and net returns per rupee invested of ₹ 1.33 was recorded in treatment S4 followed by treatment M2.
