A field experiment was conducted during Rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 at Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur with a view to assess the effect of methods of sowing and integrated nutrient management on growth, yield attributes grain yield and economics in late sown wheat cv. HUV-234. The experiment was laid out in a Split plot design with three replications. Treatment were three methods of sowing [broadcasting of the seed -M1, Line sowing (20cm apart) -M2 and cross sowing -M3] in main plots and seven nutrient management practices [with Control -N1, RDF 100% -N2, RDF + FYM@ 5.0 t ha-1 -N3, RDF + FYM @ 2.5 t ha-1 + PSB + Azotobactor + Trichoderma -N4, RDF + Vermicompost @ 2.0 t ha-1 -N5, RDF + Vermicompost @ 1.0 t ha-1 + PSB + Azotobactor + Trichoderma -N6 and RDF + FYM @ 2.5 t ha-1 + Vermicompost @ 1.0 t ha-1 + PSB + Azotobacter + Trichoderma -N7] in sub plots. Results revealed that among the methods of sowing, cross sowing perform regarding yield and yield attributes with significantly highest grain and straw yield (38.85, 61.84 q/ha) than M1 (35.93, 57.55 q/ha) and M2 (36.78, 57.94 q/ha) and net profit (Rs. 108902 /ha) over M1 (Rs. 96994 /ha), M2 (Rs. 99732 /ha) respectively. B: C ratio was also recorded highest (3.53) in cross sowing. Among the nutrient management practices T7 perform regarding yield and yield attributes with significantly highest grain (50.98 q/ha), straw yield (76.31 q/ha) and net profit (Rs. 147942 /ha) and B: C ratio (4.44) over rest of the treatments. It was also noted that integrated nutrient management practices perform significantly better than RDF alone and control. Treatment combination M3 x N7 recorded significantly better yield attributes with highest grain and straw yield (52.87 q/ha, 78.84 q/ha), net profit (Rs. 154517 /ha) and B: C ratio (4.59) than rest of the combinations respectively.
