Abstract
A field experiment on “performance of different wheat genotypes and different levels of farm yard manure under late sown conditions” was conducted at Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) during rabi 2020-21 to investigate the effects of different levels of Farmyard manure on yield of wheat varieties. The soil of experimental field was clayey loam and neutral in reaction. The soil was low in organic carbon and available nitrogen and medium in available potassium and phosphorous. The experiment was laid out in split plot design with five nutrition treatments (FYM to supply 187.5, 125 and 62.5 kg N ha-1, recommended dose of chemical fertilizers and unfertilized control) in main plots and 3 varieties (UNNAT PBW 343, HD 3086 AND DBW 222 ) in sub plots. A significant improvement in growth and yield attributing characters were recorded with the application of recommended chemical fertilizers over the rest of the treatments. The highest level of FYM (FYM187.5), supposed to supply 1.5 times higher nitrogen over the recommended nitrogen, resulted in lower grain yield (45.5 q ha-1) than recommended chemical fertilizers (48.5 q ha-1). However, the highest level of FYM was significantly better than the other two levels of FYM and unfertilized control. Among varieties, highest grain yield was recorded with the variety UNNAT PBW 343 followed by the variety HD 3086 and lower grain yield was recorded with the variety DBW 222.
