Abstract:

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L) ranked first in the world for both acreage and production of cereals. Known as the "king of cereals," wheat is a member of the Poaceae family. A cereal grain that is a staple diet around the world, wheat is a grass that is frequently produced for its seed. In the majority of the planet, wheat is grown. During the Rabi season of 2024, the Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Sam Higginbottom University of Agriculture, Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.) conducted an experiment titled "Effect of Sulphur and Foliar spraying Nano Urea on growth and yield of Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)." The three levels of Sulphur (15, 20, and 25 kg/ha) and nano urea (2, 3 and 4 ml/lit). Ten treatments were administered to each replicant three times in a Randomized Block Design experiment. The experimental field soil had a sandy loam texture, a pH of 7.2, a medium level of available organic carbon (0.662%), a low level of available nitrogen (249.5 kg/ha), and a very high level of accessible potassium (240.8 kg/ha) and phosphorus (28.7 kg/ha). Higher plant height (100.23 cm), more tillers per plant (76.49), and higher dry weight (28.67g) were all substantially higher growth metrics, according to the results. greater test weight (30.7 g), more effective tillers/plants (12.25), more grains/spike (47.60), more grain yield (4.90 t/ha), more straw yield (8.38 t/ha), and the highest harvest index (46.73%) was recorded in treatment 9 [Nano Urea 4 ml/lit + Sulphur 25 kg/ha]. In comparison to the control, treatment 9 [Sulphur 25 kg/ha + Nano Urea 4 ml/lit] had the highest gross return (1,54,405 INR/ha), net return (1,03,109.85 INR/ha), and benefit cost ratio (2.01).
