Abstract

A field experiment was conducted at experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Mewar University Gangrar, Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) during Rabi season of 2023-24 to effect of nitrogen scheduling on growth and yield of wheat, variety “3077‟ was used in this study. The required quantities of fertilizers as per treatments were applied. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications consisting of twelve treatments. The data recorded maximum growth attributes like, plant height (94.45 cm), dry matter accum8lation per m row length (248.78 g) and yield attributes such as number of effective tillers per m row length (65.40), number of grains per spike (82.24), grain yield (5230 kg/ha), stover yield (6634 kg/ha), biological yield (11864 kg/ha) and maximum net return (156075 Rs/ha) was recorded with T12 : 1/3 at basal +1/3 at CRI (21-25 DAS) + 1/3 at Jointing stage (65-70 DAS) + 2.0% urea + 0.5% ZnSO4 spray at flag leaf stage (80-90 DAS). Therefore, it may be concluded that application of T12: 1/3 at basal +1/3 at CRI (21-25 DAS) + 1/3 at Jointing stage (65-70 DAS) + 2.0% urea +0.5% ZnSO4 spray at flag leaf stage (80-90 DAS) was the most suitable treatment for obtaining higher seed yield (5230 kg/ha), gross and net returns (Rs 156075.00/ha and 113116.00/ha) and B: C ratio (2.63) in wheat. However, these results are only indicative and require further experimentation to arrive at more consistent and final conclusion.
