Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Nitrogen levels significantly increased wheat grain yield, optimum at 125 kg N ha-1 with 6.33 t ha-1.
- Intervention effect Potassium levels significantly increased wheat grain yield, optimum at 50 kg K2O ha-1 with 6.30 t ha-1.
- Association Nutrient efficiency in wheat was higher at lower doses of the respective nutrients.
- Association Higher P and K fertilizer rates enhanced wheat N efficiencies, and P and K efficiencies as well.
- Association Wheat was more responsive to N and K fertilizer.
- Association Nutrient levels statistically influenced partial factor productivity, internal efficiency and partial nutrient budget in wheat.
- Association Nutrient levels statistically influenced recovery efficiency, agronomic efficiency and physiological efficiency of NPK in wheat.
- Recommendation The study recommends N at 125 kg ha-1, P2O5 at 25 kg ha-1 and K2O at 50 kg ha-1 as the optimum rate for efficient nutrient management in wheat in the mid-hills of Nepal.
