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 tillage and integrated nutrient management on productivity of wheat”. The experiment consisted of 2 tillage practices i.e. zero and conventional 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 yield attributes, grain and straw yield of wheat were increased with conventional tillage and nutrient management practices. The conventional tillage recorded 2.4 per cent higher net returns per rupee invested over zero tillage. 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 (1.57) compared to other treatments.
