The Effect of Cropping System on Different Fertility Levels and Grain Yield of Wheat under Irrigated Conditions

Abstract:

A field experiment was conducted during 2007-08 and 2008-09 at Crop Research Farm of A.S. College, Lakhaoti (Bulandshahr) in Western Part of U.P. India to the effect of cropping system on different fertility levels and grain yield of wheat under irrigated conditions. The experiment consist of five planting systems/row ratios (i) Wheat (W), (ii) Linseed (L), (iii) Wheat + linseed (W1:L1), (iv) Wheat+ Linseed (W2:L1) and (v) Wheat + linseed (W4:L1) with four fertility levels (i) 5 t FYM / ha, (ii) 50% RD of NPK/ha (50:30:20 kg/ha), (iii) 75 % RD of NPK (75:45:30 kg/ ha) and (iv) 100 % RD of NPK (100:60:40 kg / ha). The wheat and linseed crops were planted in between, to give these row ratios. The 20 treatment combinations were tested in a Randomized Block Design with three replications. The crops were planted on November 6 in 2007-08 and November 9 in 2008-09 at Crop Research Farm of A.S. College, Lakhaoti (Bulandshahr) in the Western Part of U.P. India.
