Abstract
Adoption of an intensive cropping system to meet the food demand of the increasing population requires high input energy. The indiscriminate and imbalanced use of these inorganic fertilizers adversely affected soil health and human well-being besides reduced factor productivity. To overcome this, an experiment was conducted under assured irrigated conditions of humid eco-region of Western Himalayas at Research Farm, Chatha, SKUAST, Jammu, India, during the winter (rabi) season of 2017-18 to study the efficacy of coated urea, including neem coated, zinc coated and neem + zinc coated on growth and productivity of wheat. The soil of the experimental field was sandy clay loam in texture slightly alkaline in reaction (7.42), low in organic carbon, available N, but medium in available P and K. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design (RBD) with eleven treatment combinations, replicated thrice. Different doses of coated urea fertilizers showed a significant effect on the yield of the wheat crop. Application of 100% of Rec. N through ZnCU + Rec. P, K & Zn) showed significantly better growth measured in terms of plant height, dry matter production, leaf area index, crop growth rate, grain, and straw yield, during the study and found at par with an application of 85% of Rec. N through ZnCU + Rec. P, K & Zn, 100% of Rec. N through NCU + ZnCU+ Rec. P, K & Zn, 85% of Rec. N through NCU + ZnCU+ Rec. P, K & Zn and 100% of Rec. N through NCU + Rec. P, K & Zn than other treatments in comparison.
