Assess the effect of organic nutrient sources on growth, yield and economics of wheat in Semi-Arid region of Rajasthan

An experiment was conducted during rabi season of 2024-25 at Agricultural Farm Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh, (Rajasthan), to study the “Effect of Organic Sources of Nutrient on Growth and Yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Southern Rajasthan”. The soil of the experimental site was sandy loam in texture, slightly saline in reaction, low in available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus, and high in availability of potassium and sufficient in micronutrients. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. The experiment comprised of ten treatments (Control, 50% FYM, 50% FYM + 50% vermicompost, 75% FYM + 25% vermicompost, 25% FYM + 75% vermicompost, 50% FYM + 50% vermicompost + panchgavya spray, 75% FYM + 25% vermicompost + panchgavya spray, 25% FYM + 75% vermicompost + panchgavya spray, 100% FYM + panchgavya spray and 100% vermicompost + panchgavya spray. Wheat variety Raj 4037 was used as test crop. Application of 100% Vermicompost + panchgavya spray recorded significantly higher growth attributes, yield and economics of wheat crop as comared to control and remained treatments.
