Rhizospheric nutrient management and fertilizer placement can be a useful measure to improve wheat crops productivity in Tarai regions of India.  An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of rhizospheric nutrient management on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to explore the relationship between root proliferation, grain yield and NUE in Tarai region of Uttarakhand,  India.  It comprised 3 fertilizer application (P1 to P3) and 6 nutrient management treatments (T1 to T6) with absolute control in a randomized complete block design and replicated thrice. Experimental results indicated that P1 (1.29 and 1.47; 1.84 and 2.29 mg/cc) produced greater root density, and compared to P3 (1.39 and 1.49; 1.74 and 2.17 mg/cc), P2 (1.24 and 1.36; 1.68 and 1.97 mg/cc) and absolute control (0.85 and 1.19; 1.42 and 1.69 mg/cc) at maximum tillering and flowering stage in year 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively .The root proliferation also influenced the grain yield (5.4 and 5.5; 5.3 and 5.3; 5.1 and 5.2; 3.5 and 3.3 t/ha ) in P1, P3, P2 and absolute control in the year 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively.  However, the grain yield and root distributions (at the flowering stage) recorded significantly (p=0.05) maximum in T4 (5.8 and 5.7 t/ha; 1.84 and 2.32 mg/cc) followed by T3, T6, T1, T5, T2 treatments and minimum in absolute control (3.5 and3.3 t/ha; 1.42 and 1.69 mg /cc) in the year of 2017-18 and 2018-19, respectively.  Thus, the rhizospheric nutrient management (75% RDF+ vermicompost + PSB) with fertilizer placement can be a feasible approach for increasing grain yield and NUE in Tarai regions of Uttarakhand, by promoting deep root development and reducing fertilizer inputs in wheat.

An on-farm field experiment was accomplished during the winter season of 2018/19 under inner Terai region at Khairahani, Chitwan for evaluating the influence of various site specific nutrient management approaches on growth, yield, optimum fertilizer dose and yield gaps of wheat (Triticum aestivum, L.). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) in three replications with different eight nutrient management practices: T1- farmers fertilization practice (FFP) (52:33:18 kg NPKha-1), T2 - Blanket recommendation (BR) (100:50:25 kg NPK ha-1), T3 - SSNM-NE (110:47:46 kg NPK ha-1),T4 - LCC-N+NE-P&K, T5 - NE-N + farmers -P&K, T6 - LCC- N + farmers–P&K, T7 - Nitrogen Omission Plot (NOPT) + NE- P&K, and T8 - NARC recommendation (120:60:40 kg NPK ha-1). The result findings indicated that the NARC recommendation was comparatively superior over other treatments in terms of plant height, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate and yield, but the profitability (B:C ratio) was found higher in SSNM-Nutrient Expert recommendation. The physical and economic optimum level of fertilizer for wheat obtained was 135:47.66:43.94 kg NPK ha-1 and 130: 47.86:43.61 kg NPK ha-1, respectively. The yield gaps between farmers practice and SSNM-Nutrient Expert was found to be 110% and 41%, respectively over potential yield of wheat. Thus, it could be suggested that there is great potential to improve the yield of wheat through the NARC recommendation and the SSNM- Nutrient Expert model to raise sustained productivity and income of wheat farmers in inner-Terai region of Nepal.

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops of the world and is a staple food for about one third of the world’s population. Despite the significant area of wheat production in the country, the mean national yield 1.3 t ha-1 is 24% below than mean yield for Africa and 48% below than global mean yield. A field experiment was carried out at Senegal and Selmamer during 2014 cropping season to determine the effects of sowing methods and seed rate on yield of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Treatments were two sowing methods namely row planting and broadcasting with six  Seed rate (kg/ha): 125, 150, 175, 200, 225 and 250 kg/ha.The experimental was laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with thee replications. The study result depicted that sowing method and seed rate had brought significant effect on the   yield of bread wheat. The maximum grain yield of 3.9 t ha-1 and the minimum 2.7 t ha-1 were obtained from seed rate of 125 kg ha-1 and 200 kg ha-1 respectively. And the maximum grain yield of 3.5 t ha-1 was obtained from row planting and the least 3.13 t ha-1 was recorded from broadcast method; from these output we can conclude that, using of seed rate of 125 kg ha-1 and row planting is advisable for bread wheat production in the Senegal and Senmamer kebeles and their vicinities to increased wheat production and productivity.

Abstract In order to study of effects of nitrogen fertilizer and cycocel on yield, yield component and dry matter mobilization of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications during 2014. Treatments were included nitrogen rates in four levels (without nitrogen application as control (N0) and application 80 (N1), 160 (N2) and 240 (N3) kg ha-1 urea) and four cycocel levels (without cycocel as control (C0), application of 500 (C1), 1000 (C2), 1500 (C3) ppm). Results showed that cycocel application increased chlorophyll index, photochemical efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) and dry matter mobilization from shoots and stem. Application of nitrogen and cycocel reduced dry matter mobilization from shoots and stem, contribution of remobilization from shoots to grain and stem reserve contribution in grain yield. Application of nitrogen and cycocel as N3C3 had 58.5% and 46.26% more dry matter mobilization from shoots and stem in comparison with N3C0. The highest 1000-grain weight by 28.90 and 28.54 g, respectively, belonged to application of cycocel as C2 and C3 and the lowest 1000-grain weight by 26.93 g belonged to the C0. The highest grain yield (1.068 g per plant), number of grains per ear (37.36) and 1000-grain weight (28.77 g) were obtained in application of 240 kg ha-1 urea. It seems that the increase of Fv/Fm ratio due to current photosynthesis in plants that were grown under cycocel and nitrogen treatments decreased mobilization of dry matter and stem reserves to grain yield. Generally, it was concluded that nitrogen and cycocel can be as a proper tool for increasing wheat yield.

AbstractBread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops in Ethiopia. The productivity of wheat is markedly constrained by nutrient depletion and inadequate fertilizer application. The experiment was conducted to study the effect of nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) fertilizer rates on growth, yield, nutrient uptake and use efficiency during 2019 cropping season on Kedida Gamela Woreda, Kembata Tembaro Zone Southern Ethiopia. Factorial combinations of four rates of N (0, 23, 46 and 69 kg Nha−1) and three rates of K2O (0, 30 and 60 kg Nha−1) in the form of urea (46–0-0) and murate of potash (KCl) (0-0-60) respectively, were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that most parameters viz yield, yield components, N uptake and use efficiency revealed significant differences (P < 0.05) due to interaction effects of N and K. Fertilizer application at the rate of 46 N and 30 kg K ha−1 resulted in high grain yield of 4392 kg ha− 1 and the lowest 1041 from control. The highest agronomic efficiency of N (52.5) obtained from the application of 46 kg N ha−1. Maximum physiological efficiency of N (86.6 kg kg−1) and use efficiency of K (58.6%) was recorded from the interaction of 46 and 30 kg K ha−1. Hence, it could be concluded that applying 46 and 30 kg K ha−1was resulted in high grain yield and economic return to wheat growing farmers of the area. Yet, in order to draw sound conclusion, repeating the experiment in over seasons and locations is recommended.

A 3-yr study was conducted on three Orthic Black Chernozemic soils to determine the effects of incremental N fertilization on grain yield and dry matter accumulation and distribution of six spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars. Urea (46–0–0) was sidebanded at seeding in 40 kg N ha−1 increments from 0 to 240 kg ha−1 in the first year and from 0 to 200 kg ha−1 in the 2 subsequent years. Nitrogen fertilization increased the grain and straw yields of all cultivars in each experiment. The predominant factor affecting the N response and harvest index of each cultivar was available moisture. At two of the three sites, 91% of the interexperiment variability in mean maximum grain yield was explained by variation in root zone moisture at seeding. Mean maximum total dry matter varied by less than 12% among cultivars, but mean maximum grain yield varied by more than 30%. Three semidwarf cultivars, HY 320, Marshall and Solar, had consistently higher grain yield and grain yield response to N than Glenlea and Katepwa, two standard height cultivars, and Len, a semidwarf. The mean maximum grain yield of HY 320 was the highest of the cultivars on test and those of Katepwa and Len the lowest. Len produced the least straw and total dry matter. The level of N fertilization at maximum grain yield varied among cultivars, sites and years. Marshall and Solar required the highest and Len the lowest N rates to achieve maximum grain yield. The year-to-year variation in rates of N fertilization needed to produce maximum grain yield on a specific soil type revealed the limitations of N fertility recommendations based on "average" amounts and temporal distribution of available moisture.Key words: Wheat (spring), N response, standard height, semidwarf, grain yield
