Abstract

The field experiment was conducted at crop research farm (CRF) during Rabi season 2021-22 Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (UP). To study the “Influence of nitrogen and zinc on yield attributes, yield and economics of wheat”. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design with 3 replications. The results showed that T9 [nitrogen at (120kg/ha) + zinc at (0.06%)], found more productive as it attained the superior values of yield attributing trails i.e., spikes/m² (435.66), grains/spike (56.63), test weight (41.66 g), grain yield (4.82 t/ha), straw yield (11.66 t/ha) and proved significantly superior over other treatments of different levels of nitrogen and foliar application of zinc and that treatment also fetched the higher values of gross return (132110.00 INR/ha), net return (89650.70 INR/ha) and also found more remunerative due to highest benefit cost ratio (2.11).
