The soil of the experimental field was silty loan in texture with low, medium and high in N, P and K respectively. The experimental site is situated in subtropical zone in indo gang tic planes. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 7 treatment combinations and 3 replications. Wheat was shown on 11th November 2022 with treatment combinations viz. T₁ - Control (R D F 120: 60: 40), T₂ - R D F 50% + F Y M 50%, T₃ - R D F 50% +Vermicompost 50%, T₄ - R D F 50% + Poultry Manure 50%, T₅ - R D F 75% + F Y M 25%, T₆ – R D F 75% + Vermicompost 25% and T₇ - R D F 75% + Poultry manure 25%, respectively. The crop was harvested on 24th March 2023. The result indicated that the treatment combination T₆ - R D F 75% + Vermicompost 25% was registered significantly superior in terms of plant height, number of tillers, dry weight, leaf area index, test weight, grain yield, straw yield, gross return (Rs/ ha) and net return (Rs / ha.), respectively over rest of the treatments. Integrated use of organic manures along with optimum doses of chemical fertilizers increased the growth parameters and yield of wheat.
