Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of most important rabi cereal crop of northern Madhya Pradesh in India. The availability of phosphorus in the soil for plant utilization is known to be affected not only by the inherent soil characteristics but also by the fertilizer use and management practices followed for crop production. Therefore, a study on the response of phosphorus on farmer field for improving wheat productivity was performed at Jabalpur, India. In between the technology intervention HRD components were also included to excel the farmers understanding and skill about the demonstrated technology on nutrient management aspects. The front line demonstration conducted at six farmer's field of village's viz. Luhari, Gathora, Ghatera, Kanthi and Gurda pipariya on wheat (variety GW-366) during Rabi 2015-16. The soil contained pH 6.5 to 7.2, EC 0.16 to 0.21 dSm-1, organic carbon 0.49 to 0.69%, available nitrogen 204 to 254 Kg ha-1, phosphorus 7.1 to 16.2 Kg ha-1 and potassium 411 to 470 Kg ha-1.The experiment included 5 treatments viz., T1 - 100% NPK + 5 t FYM ha-1, T2 - 100% NPK, T3 - 100% NK+ 50% K, T4 - 100% NPK – (S) and T5 – farmer's practice. The result indicated that the treatment T1-100% NPK+FYM produced the highest average yield of wheat. The lowest yield was recorded in T5-farmer's practice. The highest increase in yield (26%) was observed with 100% NPK + FYM over farmer's practice, followed by 13% increase in yield (100% NPK) of wheat over farmer's practice.

Information on soil condition of the fields used in this experiment was as follows; pH 6.5 to 7.2, EC 0.16 to 0.21 dSm-1, organic carbon 0.49 to 0.69%, available nitrogen 204 to 254 kg ha-1, phosphorus 7.1 to 16.2 ha-1and potassium 411 to 470 kg ha-1.The experiment included 5 treatments viz., T1 - 100% NPK + 5 t FYM ha-1, T2 - 100% NPK, T3 - 100% NK+ 50% K, T4 - 100% NPK – (S) and T5 – farmer’s practice
The data presented in Table-2 indicated that the treatment T1-100% NPK+FYM produced the highest average yield (4058 kg ha-1) followed by T2-100% NPK which gave 3642 kg ha-1 yield
