Impact of different moisture regimes and sources of nitrogen on plant height and economics feasibility of wheat crop

An experiment was conducted at Student’s “Instructional farm of Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) during rabi season 2019-2020. Using the wheat variety HD-2967, the experiment was set up in split plot design (SPD) with three replications. The treatments comprised of four irrigation levels viz. 0.6 IW/CPE ratio (I₁), 0.8 IW/CPE ratio (I₂), 1.0 IW/CPE ratio (I₃), 1.2 IW/CPE ratio (I₄), and three nitrogen sources viz. 100% (RDF) through urea (N₁), 50% RDF + 50% FYM (N₂), 50% RDF + 50% poultry manure (N₃). On the basis of results obtained application of 1.0 IW/CPE ratio (I3) accrued the maximum net returns (Rs 58097 ha^-1) with B:C ratio of 1.82.
