Abstract

A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2020 at All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Wheat, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur (M.P.) to evaluate nutrient balance under the optimization of fertilizer levels with plant growth regulators. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design comprising nine treatment of different dose of fertilizer along with plant growth regulators namely chlormequat chloride and tebuconazole applied at the rates of 0.2% and 0.1%, respectively and replicated three times. The recommended dose of fertilizer, 120:60:40 kg NPK ha-1 was applied as per treatment. The result showed that using 150% recommended doses of NPK, recorded higher value of available nitrogen (297.320 kg ha-1), phosphorus (18.970 kg ha-1) and potassium (311.630 kg ha-1) content in soil after the harvest of wheat was significantly influenced by the application of different doses of fertilizer, while lowest available content of all the three major nutrients was recorded from control. Growth regulators had no significant influence on the available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium content in soil. The highest nitrogen content in both grain and straw were observed with the application of 150% recommended doses of NPK with growth regulators (1.99%) and (0.567%), respectively. Phosphorus content and potassium content both in grain and straw were significantly influenced by fertilizer doses, highest value recorded with 150% recommended doses of NPK and the lowest phosphorus and potassium content in both grain and straw were recorded in control while all the other treatments receiving fertilizers with or without being at par with each other. Uptake of all the major nutrients viz., nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium showed the similar trend with significantly highest uptake recorded with the application of 150% recommended doses of NPK with growth regulator and optimal NPK application demonstrated a positive nutrient balance in the soil. It concluded that nutrient management with growth regulator in wheat, economically viable and ecologically sound option to extend these benefits of balanced nutrition in enhancing both crop production and soil heath.
