ABSTRACT
On farm experiments were conducted at farmers field of Rahra Village, Kanpur Dehat (U.P.) to achieve the maximum economic yield of rice and wheat through efficient nutrient management during kharif 2006 & rabi 2006-2007.Result indicated that imbalanced and inadequate use of fertilizer by farmers fetched lowest yield of rice (5958 kg ha-1) and wheat (4017 kg ha-1) which were increased by 52.7 % (3142 kg ha-1) and 39.7% (1594 kg ha-1) respectively by SSNM treatments combined with S+ Zn. Lowest yield in STR treatment state recommended doses showed need for upward revision of STR doses. On the basis of soil and other condition, site specific fertilizer recommendation should be made available for the individual farmer based on soil test of major, secondary and micro nutrient for efficient nutrient management and sustaining soil health.
