Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi season 2020-21 to study the effect of crop residue and various nutrient sources on microbial build up and productivity and profitability of wheat in clay loam soil of Gharuan (Mohali).The experiment consisted of combinations of seven nutrient management practices i.e. inorganic nutrient management with crop residue (100% RDF), organic nutrient management with crop residue (VC@10t ha-1), integrated nutrient management with crop residue (VC @5t ha-1 + 50% RDF), inorganic nutrient management without crop residue (100% RDF), organic nutrient management without crop residue (VC @ 5 t ha-1), integrated nutrient management without crop residue (VC@5 t ha-1 + 50% RDF) and control. Results of the study revealed that integrated nutrient management (VC @5 t ha-1 + 50% RDF) being statistically at par with inorganic nutrient management recorded the highest grain yield and straw yield over other nutrient management treatments. Treatments with crop residue showed better microbial count over treatments without crop residue. Integrated nutrient management with residue (VC @5t ha-1 + 50% RDF) recorded the highest microbial count and higher yield attributing characters over other nutrient management treatments.
