Abstract
Influence of farm yard manure and phosphorus application on yield and yield components of Wheat
Highlights
Farm The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2013- 2014
To quantify the effect of farm yard manure (FYM) and phosphorus levels application on growth, yield and yield components of wheat, the experiment was conducted at Agronomy Research
Maximum number of days to anthesis (136), plant height (102 cm), number of productive tillers m-2 (324), number of unproductive tillers m-2 (14), days to physiological maturity (172), number of grain spike-1 (53 grains), thousand grains weight (50 g), grain yield (4552 kg ha-1), biological yield (12802 kg ha1) and harvest index (39%) were recorded in the plots treated with FYM at the rate of 6 tons ha-1, whereas the 90 kg ha-1 phosphorus gave maximum plant height (98 cm), days to anthesis (136), number of productive tillers m-2 (311), number of unproductive tillers m-2 (14), days to physiological maturity (172), number of grains spike-1(51 grains), thousand grains weight (48 g), biological yield (12250 kg ha-1), grain yield (4372kg ha-1) and harvest index (40 %)
Summary
Farm The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2013- 2014. Randomized complete block design was used having split plot arrangement with three replications. Maximum plant height (106 cm), days to physiological maturity (177), grain yield (4619 kg ha-1) were recorded in plots treated with FYM at the rate of 6 tons ha-1 and 90 kg ha-1 phosphorus. Mean values for the treatments showed that maximum numbers of productive tillers m-2 (338) were showed in plots treated with 6 tons ha-1 FYM and phosphorus 90 kg ha-1.
