Quality parameters namely hectolitre weight, sedimentation value, protein content, N/P/K content and uptake were evaluated in WH711 by integrating use of vermicompost, biofertilizers and chemical fertilizers under saline and non-saline irrigation water during rabi seasons of 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 at Hisar, Haryana. Hectolitre weight did not differ significantly due to quality of irrigation water, inoculation and vermicompost treatments and ranged from 75.55 to 76.38 kg/hl during first year and 75.49 to 76.33 kg/hl in second year. Protein content (%) was significantly higher under canal water (12.23, 12.13) than saline water (11.11, 10.94) during 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively while no significant effect was observed on sedimentation value (ml). Protein content and sedimentation value were significantly higher under Azotobacter ST3 and Pseudomonas P36 + vermicompost @ 5t/ha (31.31, 31.20 ml; 11.85, 11.76 %) than no inoculation (28.33, 28.61ml 11.47, 11.24 %) during both the years, respectively. N, P and K content (%) and uptake (kg/ha) by grain and straw were significantly higher in canal water and inoculation (Azotobacter ST3 and Pseudomonas P36) + vermicompost @ 5t/ha during both the years. Sedimentation value did not vary significantly with different recommended dose of fertilizers, while protein content was significantly improved under 125% RDF (11.88, 11.82 %) as compared to 75% RDF (11.36, 11.15 %) during 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively. N and P content and their uptake by grain and straw increased significantly as the RDF increased during both the years. Different recommended dose of fertilizers did not significantly affect K content ingrain and straw during both the years, while K uptake was by grain and straw was significantly higher under 125% RDF over 75% RDF during both the years.
