The field experiment on farm trial (OFT) was conducted on effect of balanced fertilizers doses of fertilizers and foliar spray of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium on grain yield of Wheat during the Rabi season of the year 2013-14 in order to develop fertilizer prescriptions for the desired yield targets treatments viz., farmers practice, recommended fertilizers –RDF (Balanced fertilizers) and RDF +18:18:18 NPK 1% foliar application at flowering stage. In this experiment application of chemical balanced fertilizers -RDF +18:18:18 NPK 1% foliar spray application increased 09.63 per cent in economic yield than the farmers practice during the year. The net return also showed increase of Rs. 6275/- ha-1 under chemical balanced fertilizers -RDF +18:18:18 NPK 1% foliar spray application than farmer practices during the year. Application of 18:18:18 NPK 1% spray at flowering recorded maximum yield (6260 kg ha-1), higher net return (6275 Rs. ha-1) with benefit cost ratio of 2.39.
