Effect of integrated nitrogen management on growth, yield and yield attributing characters of wheat (Triticumaestlvum L.) in salt affected soil

The present field studies investigated the effect of integrated use of inorganic N and organic sources (Farm Yard Manure, press mud and water hyacinth) on wheat (Tritium aestium L.) crop in salt affected soils. The experiment was carriedout on silt loam soil at instructional form of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology,Kumarganj, Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh. The result showed that maximum plant height, spikes m-², spike length, grains per spike, test weight, grain and straw yield ofwheat recorded in treatment T₇ (U-N₆₀+PM-N₆₀) whereas, the values of harvest index were recorded in the treatment T₄ U-N₆₀+ FYM-N₆₀) during both the years. However, combinations of Farm Yard Manure and water hyacinth with chemical fertilizers were at par at identical ratio.
