Field experiment shows climate resilient farming improves wheat yield and nutrient uptake compared to other methods.
A field experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Farm, College of Agriculture, Pune during kharif, 2024 to study residual effect of farming practices on yield, quality and nutrient uptake under wheat cultivation. The experiment was initiated in 2022- 23 as a soybean-wheat sequence cropping system. A randomized block design (RBD) four replications and five treatments was adopted, comprising coventional practices (T1), General recommended dose of fertilizers (T2), organic farming (T3), zero budget natural farming (T4) and climate resilient farming (T5). The results revealed that, climate resilient farming (T5) recorded significantly higher grain yield (43.28 q ha-1) and straw yield (59.72 q ha-1). Quality parameters such as protein content (12.60 %) and hectolitre weight (81.91 kg hl-1) were also significantly superior under climate resilient farming. Nutrient uptake was enhanced under T5, with significantly higher total N (128.79 kg ha-1), P (56.42 kg ha-1), and K (115.46 kg ha-1) uptake compared to other treatments. Morever, uptake of micronutrients by wheat was also highest under T5, with Fe (1161.47 g ha-1), Mn (431.5 g ha-1), Zn (282.33 g ha-1) and Cu (60.36 g ha-1) r closely followed by General recommended dose of fertilizer.
