Integrated use of vermicompost, biofertilizers and chemical fertilizers was carried out to evaluate the yield performance of WH-711 under saline and non saline irrigation water during rabi seasons of 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 at Hisar, Haryana. Effective tillers/mrl, ear head length (cm), number of grains/spike, grain, straw and biological yields (q/ha) were significantly higher in canal water as compared to saline water during both the years. Number of effective tillers/mrl, number of grains/spike, grain, straw and biological yields (q/ha) were maximum in Azotobacter ST3 and Pseudomonas P36 + vermicompost @5 t/ha and minimum in no inoculation treatment during 2011-12 and 2012-13. Application of 125% RDF, being statistically at par with 100% RDF, produced significantly higher number of effective tillers/mrl, grains/spike, grain, straw and biological yields (q/ha) than 75% RDF during 2011-12 and 2012-13. Test weight (g) and harvest index did not differ significantly under quality of irrigation water, levels of fertilizer and inoculation and vermicompost treatments during both the years. The INM treatment INVC125% RDF recorded maximum gross returns (avg. Rs. 90,133/ha), but net returns were better in IN125% RDF (avg. Rs. 55, 242/ha). Moreover, integrated use of bio-fertilizer and 100% RDF resulted in maximum B: C ratio (avg. 2.80).
