Effect of Integrated Nitrogen Management on Soil Properties and Yield of Wheat in Salt Affected Soil

Field experiment were conducted at the Student Instructional Farm of Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Narendra Nagar, Faizabad (U.P.), India, to study the effect of integrated nitrogen management on soil properties and yield of wheat in salt affected soil. The result showed that maximum grain yield and available nitrogen were recorded in treatment receiving 1:1 ratio of urea + pressmud (T7) whereas, maximum build up in organic carbon in plot receiving 1:3 ratio of urea + FYM (T5). Increasing dose of organic sources of nitrogen improved the pH, EC, ESP and hydraulic conductivity of salt affected soil. The highest available P and K were estimated in Treatment T8 (U-N30+PM-N90). However, recommended dose of Chemical fertilizers significantly superior with respect to zinc availability.
