| dc.description.abstract | The field experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2016-17 at experimental site of Agroforestry Research Centre (old site), Patharchatta of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand to study the effect of various nutrient sources on growth and yield of wheat crop, effect on soil properties and growth of poplar trees. The experiment was laid on randomized block design with seven treatments, i.e., Control (T1), recommended NPK (T2), 150% of N and recommended P, K (T3), recommended NPK + ZnSO4 @25 kg/ha (T4), 150% of N and recommended P, K + ZnSO4 @25 kg/ha (T5), recommended NPK + ZnSO4 @25 kg/ha + FYM @10 t/ha (T6) and 150% of N and recommended P, K + ZnSO4 @25 kg/ha + FYM @10 t/ha (T7). All the growth and yield related parameters of wheat crop was found maximum in treatment T7. In soil chemical properties, a significant changes were also observed. Soil pH, soil available N, P and K were reduced drastically after experiment was finished due to excess uptake of nutrients by crop. In economic point of view, maximum net returns was obtained from treatment T6. Thus, the study indicated that, T7 treatment provided higher yield but higher B:C ratio was obtained from treatment T4. | en_US |
