Performance of late sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as influenced by different levels of fertilizers along with biofertilizers

The field investigation was carriedout on performance of late sown wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as influenced by different levels of fertilizers along with biofertilizers with the recommended cultural practices and plant protection measures.The application of 125 per cent RDF + Azotobacter + PSB (T 8 ) recorded significantly higher plant height, number of effective tillers per plant, panicle length, dry matter per plant, number of spikelets per panicle, number of grains per panicle, weight of grains per panicle, grain yield, straw yield and biological yield than all other treatments.It was followed by the application of 125 per cent RDF (T 4 ) and 100 per cent RDF + Azotobacter + PSB (T 7 ) treatments.Lowest plant height, number of effective tillers per plant, panicle length, dry matter per plant, number of spikelets per panicle, number of grains per panicle, weight of grains per panicle, grain yield, straw yield and biological yield was observed in 50 per cent RDF.Recommonded dose of fertilizer was 80:40:40 kg NPK ha -1 .
