Abstract

The experiment was carried out entitled “Effect of nitrogen fertilizer and Ferti-fortification through zinc and iron on yield and economics of wheat (Triticum aestivum)” at the Crop Research Centre of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut, (U.P.) during rabi season of 2021-22 and 2022-23. The soil of the experimental area was sandy clay loam with low organic matter, available nitrogen, medium in available phosphorus, potassium, zinc, iron and slightly alkaline in reaction. The result of the experiment revealed that the maximum grain yield (52.83 q ha-1 and 51.44 q ha-1), straw yield (66.06 q ha-1 and 65.40 q ha-1), net returns (₹ 106,008 ha-1 and ₹ 112,155 ha-1) and B:C ratio (3.27 & 3.26) was recorded with recommended nitrogen (150 kg N ha-1) + foliar zinc (0.5%) + foliar iron (0.5 %) treatments during 2021-22 and 2022-23, respectively.
