Effect of integrated nutrient management with vermicompost on productivityof wheat (Triticum aestivum)

The results of the field experiment conducted during winter seasons of 1994 -96 revealed that application of organic manures improved yield attributes and grain, straw and biological yields of wheat( Triticum aestivum L. emend . Fiori & Paol.). Application of vermicompost at the rate of 7.5 or 10 t/ha yielded higher than 10t/ha FYM. Increasing dose of nitrogen improved signi ficantly the yield attributes and yields of the crop. integration of vermic ompost at 10 t/ha or 7.5 t/ha or FYM 10 t/ha with 100 kg N/ha produced grai n, straw as well as biological yields on par to recommended dose of fertili zers (120 + 60 + 25 kg/ha N + P2O5 + Zn SO4) during both years.
