Effect of macro and micro nutrients application on yield attributes and yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under late sown conditions

A field experiment was conducted during winter (Rabi) season of 2022-2033 to study “Effect of macro and micro nutrients application on yield attributes and yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under late sown conditions”. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design (RBD), three replications of a single variety and ten nutrient treatments. The ten nutrient treatment were T₁: 50% RDF +20 kg/ha MgSO₄, T₂: 50% RDF +20 kg/ha FeSO₄, T₃: 50% RDF +20 kg/ha ZnSO₄, T₄: 75% RDF +15 kg/ha MgSO₄, T₅: 75% RDF +15 kg/ha FeSO₄, T₆: 75% RDF +15 kg/ha ZnSO₄, T₇: 100% RDF 150:60:60 kg/ha N:P₂O₅:K₂O, T₈: 100% RDF + 10 kg/ha MgSO₄, T₉: 100% RDF + 10 kg/ha FeSO₄, T₁₀: 100% RDF + 10 kg/ha ZnSO₄. The findings showed that the biological yield, grain yield, straw yield, (111.99, 49.48, and 62.51 q/ha) were reported highest in 100% recommended dose of fertilizers + 10 kg/ha ZnSO₄ respectively. The highest gross, net returns was obtained in T₁₀ followed by T₉, while minimum gross return and net return was obtained in T₁. Highest value of B: C ratio (1.46) was obtained in T₁₀.
