abstract
The field experiment was entitled with “Study on yield maximization of wheat with equitable use of agri-inputs and weed management practices under restricted irrigation condition” was conducted during rabi 2021-22 and 2022-23, at student’s Instructional farm, C.S.A. University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur Nagar (U.P.). The soil of the experimental plot was sandy loam in texture. The experiment was laid out in Factorial Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications, assigning 26 treatments combination, four fertility levels F1-Absolut control, F2-RDF (150:60:40 NPK Kg/ha), F3-RDF (75:60:40 NPK Kg/ha) + 2 spray of Nano Urea (4ml/ litter), F4-RDF (150:60:40 NPK Kg/ha) + 2 spray of Nano Urea (4 ml/ litter) and five weed management practices W1-Weedy check, W2-Metsulfuran methyl 10% + Carfentrazone ethyl 40% DF @ 50 g ha^-1, W3-Pyromaxsulfuron 85% wc @ 800 ml ha^-1, W4-Flumioxazin 50% sc @ 250 ml ha^-1, W5-Two hand weeding at 20 and 40 DAS. The results of the experiment concluded that F4 and W5 had higher cultivation costs, they also resulted in the highest gross and net returns, suggesting that the investment in these practices is justified by the increased yield and profitability. The highest benefit-cost ratio was observed with F4 and W4.
