Abstract
A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2020-21 at Experimental farm of University Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Chandigarh University, Gharuan (Mohali) to study the performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under foliar application of dasagavya and fermented buttermilk as organic source of nutrition. There were total nine treatments comprising of wheat with treatment T1 - Control, T2 - 1% dasagavya + 2.5t/ha FYM, T3 – 2% dasagavya + 2.5t/ha vermicompost, T4 – 3% dasagavya + 5t/ha FYM, T5 – 4% dasagavya + 5t/ha vermicompost, T6 – 2.5% fermented buttermilk + 2.5t/ha FYM, T7 – 5% fermented buttermilk + 2.5t/ha vermicompost, T8 – 7.5% fermented buttermilk + 5t/ha FYM and T9 – 10% fermented buttermilk + 5t/ha vermicompost. The experiment was laid down in randomized block design with three replications. Growth parameters i.e. plant height was maximum at harvesting in treatment T4 (84.01 cm) followed by treatment T8 (82.07 cm), dry matter accumulation at harvesting in treatment T4 (211.79) was highest followed by treatment T8 (208.46). Yield attributes, grain yield was the highest in treatment T4 (8.63 q/ha) followed by treatment T8 (43.55 q/ha) and straw yield recorded the highest in treatment T4 (69.23 q/ha) followed by treatment T8 (64.64kg/ha). Among all the treatments T4 - 3% dasagavya + 5t/ha FYM gave the best results. Highest net return of Rs.66144/ha and Rs.1.96 as net return per rupee invested were recorded in treatment T4 followed by treatment T5 in which net return was Rs.63695.50 and net return per rupee invested is Rs.1.85.
