Abstract
The present experiment was carried out at Experimental farm of University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) during Rabi season, 2020-21 to investigate the “effect of organic and inorganic source of nutrients on productivity and profitability of wheat”. The experiment consisted of 2 moisture regimes i.e. irrigated and rainfed in main plots and 8 treatments comprising of 4 nutrient management practices, i.e. organic nutrient management [seed inoculation with Azotobacter (5 g kg-1 seed) + vermicompost (10 t ha-1)], inorganic nutrient management (recommended dose of NPK), integrated nutrient management [vermicompost (5 t ha-1) + 50% of recommended dose of NPK)] and farmer’s practice [vermicompost (2.5 t ha-1) + 25% of recommended dose of NPK]. Results revealed that yield attributes, grain and straw yield of wheat were increased with irrigated condition and nutrient management practices. Integrated nutrient management recorded maximum grain yield followed by inorganic nutrient management, organic nutrient management and farmer’s practice. Integrated nutrient management recorded maximum net returns per rupee invested (1.66) but it was statistically at par with inorganic nutrient management (1.62).
