Effect of Various Organic Sources of Nutrients on Growth, Yield and Quality of Wheat (Triticum Aestivum L.)
A field experiment was conducted during winter seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at the Research Farm, RVSKVV College of Agriculture, Gwalior (M.P.) to study the effect of organic sources of nutrients on growth, yield and quality of wheat. The treatment receiving VC 5 t/ha + Jeewamrit 500 lit./ha + Panchagavya 15 lit./ha + FYM 10t/ha resulted in maximum growth parameters (plant height 88.77 cm, leaves 60.60 /plant, grains 40.22 /earhead, length of earhead 11.91 cm, weight of earhead 2.40 g and 1000-seed weight 41-05 g), grain yield (41.82 q/ha), straw yield (61.70 q/ha), harvest index (40.40 %), starch content (73.33 %) and protein content (14.22 %). The second best treatment was F10 = VC 5 t/ha + Panchagavya 15 lit./ha + FYM 10 t/ha, closely followed by Jeewamrit 500 lit./ha + VC 5 t/ha + FYM 10 t/ha and then Jeewamrit 500 lit./ha + Panchagavya 15 lit./ha + FYM 10 t/ha. All the parameters were decreased significantly under treatments receiving single or two organic sources of nutrients.
