The study was conducted at the certified organic experimental farm of SHUATS Model of Organic Farm (SMOF) at NAI, Prayagraj, in the winter rabi season of 2020-21. The primary objective was to scrutinize the nuanced impact of diverse sowing methods and organic manures on the yield attributes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This comprehensive investigation consisted of nine treatments, each replicated three times and arranged in a randomized block design. Noteworthy findings emerged, revealing that Row sowing coupled with Poultry manure (5 t/ha), Panchagavya 3% FS, and Jeevamrut 500 l/ha FS resulted in the tallest plant height (78.30 cm). Moreover, the optimal combination of SWI with Poultry manure (5 t/ha), Panchagavya 3% FS, and Jeevamrut 500 l/ha FS exhibited the highest number of tillers per plant (10.53) and the maximum dry weight per plant (18.00 g/plant). Better yield performance, however, was achieved by Row sowing in conjunction with Poultry manure (5 t/ha), Panchagavya 3% FS, and Jeevamrut 500 l/ha FS, where it not only showcased the highest grain yield (3.16 t/ha) and straw yield (4.48 t/ha) but also demonstrated superiority in gross return (Rs. 1,44,000.00/ha), net returns (Rs. 95,940.00/ha), and an impressive benefit-cost ratio of 1.99. These outcomes underscore the paramount importance of precision in agricultural practices for achieving enhanced productivity and economic viability.
