ABSTRACT
Field experiment is in progress on a sandy loam soil at Punjab Agricultural University Farm on Basmati-wheat cropping sequence since rabi 2006-07 to study the effect of fertilizer management practices on crop yield and soil properties. The fertilizer treatments consisted of inorganic fertilizers, organic manures and integrated nutrient management (INM). Soil samples were collected from 0-15 and 15-30 cm soil layers from different treatments after five cycles of cropping. The results showed that mineral nitrogen and total nitrogen content in surface soil (0-15 cm) ranged from 29.2 to 65.3 and 200 to 967 mg kg-1, respectively. Mineral and total N content decreased in the sub-surface layer (15-30 cm) in all treatments. Water soluble, exchangeable, available, non-exchangeable, lattice and total K content in surface soil ranged from 35.0 to 104.2, 58.3 to 150.8, 23.3 to 48.3, 580 to 948, 10453 to 14245 and 11033 to 15087 mg kg-1, respectively. Water soluble and available K content of the surface soil was higher than sub-surface layer. However, non-exchangeable, lattice and total K content were higher in sub-surface soil layer in all treatment plots. Different forms of K, except non-exchangeable, were significantly higher in 400 kg N ha-1 from RSC treatment whereas non-exchangeable K was significantly higher in plots receiving 400 kg N ha-1 from FYM. Mineral and total nitrogen and different forms of potassium were higher in plots receiving organic manures farm yard manure (FYM), vermicompost (VC) and rice straw compost, (RSC) than integrated nutrient and recommended fertilizer (RF) treatment. Wheat grain yield, straw yield and nutrient uptake were significantly higher in INM2 (recommended fertilizer plus 200 kg N ha-1 from FYM) treatment than all other treatments.
