Abstract

The raised beds gave significantly higher grain and straw yields of wheat. Similarly, recommended dose of inorganic fertilizer (F100) gave significantly higher yield of wheat grain and straw as compared to reduced dose (F75). The plots treated with organics resulted in significantly higher yield as compared to control. Land configuration and application of organics significantly reduced the soil pH and EC. There was marked improvement in water stable aggregates due to the addition of organics.
