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 (4ml/ 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 the fertility levels significantly influenced nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium content in both grain and straw, with the highest values consistently recorded under treatment F4 (RDF 150:60:40 NPK + two Nano Urea sprays). Weed management practices did not significantly affect nutrient content in grain or straw.
