Effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Yield of Wheat

A two-year field experiment (rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23) was conducted at the Agriculture Research Substation (ARSS), Tabiji, Ajmer, to evaluate the impact of integrated nutrient management (INM) on wheat growth and yield. The combined application of Jeevamrit at 500 liters/ha during the 1st and 2nd irrigation, along with the recommended dose of fertilizers (RDF: 90 kg N + 35 kg P₂O₅/ha) and 4 t FYM/ha (T3), resulted in the highest grain yield (41.94 q/ha), biological yield (86.6 q/ha), number of spikes per meter row length, test weight (42.53 g), and net returns per rupee investment (2.05). Recent findings affirm that integrating Jeevamrit with chemical fertilizers and FYM can not only increase wheat yield but also enhance soil health and economic sustainability.
